Jerusalem

And did those feet in ancient timeWalk upon England’s mountains green?And was the holy Lamb of GodOn England’s pleasant pastures seen?And did the countenance divineShine forth upon our clouded hills?And was Jerusalem builded hereAmong those 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 JerusalemIn England’s green and pleasant land

God save our gracious Queen,Long live our noble Queen,God save the Queen.Send her victorious,Happy and glorious,Long to reign over us,God save the Queen.

The National Anthem
