Lyrics
In ancient times
Walked the pilgrims' arms red, red
And cast the holy banner o'er
All England's pleasant pastures, green
And in the countenance divine
Shined forth the hope of coming years
And of Jerusalem builded here
Among those vast and family fears
Bring me my robe of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear of clouds unborn
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 free and pleasant land
