| | | AND 1 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 | 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. | |
