Over deze songtekst:
Dit lied was van origine een gedicht van William Blake die het in 1804 schreef. In 1916 zette Palmer het op muziek. Sommigen wilden dit lied tot het nieuwe Engelse volkslied maken, maar zover is het nooit gekomen.
And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon Englands mountains green And was the holy Lamb of God On Englands 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 'Til we have built Jerusalem In Englands green and pleasant Land
