Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- 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?
- 2.
- 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.
