And did those feet in ancient time  

   Walk upon England’s mountains green?  

And was the holy Lamb of God  

   On England’s pleasant pastures seen?  

  

And did the Countenance Divine     

   Shine forth upon our clouded hills?  

And was Jerusalem builded here  

   Among these dark Satanic Mills?  

  

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 will not cease from mental fight,  

   Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,  

Till we have built Jerusalem    

   In England’s green and pleasant land.
