‘Jerusalem’ is a cover of a traditional English hymn, given a rock arrangement by ELP. The lyrics come from a poem an early-nineteenth-century poem by William Blake, a renowned English Romantic poet. The poem was originally set to music by Hubert Parry in the early twentieth century. Parry’s hymn...
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?
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
Jerusalem was written by Hubert Parry & William Blake.
Jerusalem was produced by Greg Lake.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer released Jerusalem on Mon Nov 19 1973.
