Jerusalem Lyrics
And did those feet in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pasture's scene?
And did the countenance divine
Shined forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem built here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bowl of burning gold
Bring me arrows of desire
Bring me my spear, o clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not seize from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England's green and pleasant land
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pasture's scene?
Shined forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem built here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me arrows of desire
Bring me my spear, o clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England's green and pleasant land

Corrections, as Blake's Poem is written:
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 & pleasant Land
