Jerusalem

And were your heart lifted to the clouds 
So that freedom was within your reach 
Thy shepherd’s ghost shadow shrouds 
As ancient fires life’s lessons teach 

.
And were God’s battles thy own untold 
Armour bloodied in wars of Kings
Gallant men on tall horses bold 
Voices toward the gallow sings 

Jerusalem, O Jerusalem thy golden light
Shed upon pilgrims young and old
Touched thy soldier’s endless might 
Who marched through winter’s callous cold

And who shall wake the sleeping dead 
In time for Spring’s mighty wake 
Shall look towards the nation’s stead 
As times shadow cast on God’s lake

 Jerusalem thy light upon great walls
The Lords golden angels heaven calls
