| | | AND did those feet in ancient time | |
| Walk upon England’s mountain green? | |
| And was the holy Lamb of God | |
| On England’s pleasant pastures seen? | |
| |
| And did the countenance divine | 5 |
| 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! | 10 |
| 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 | 15 |
| In England’s green and pleasant land. | | | | |
