Lyrics
1. And did those feet, in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy lamb of God On England's pleasent pastures seen? And did the contenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills, And was Jerusalem builded here, Among those dark satanic mills.
2. Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I shall not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, 'til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.
