As a proud Englishman I can say I'm truly honoured to hear this song sung by our brother's and sisters across the sea. It means a great deal, thank you
@@RevoeLad I love the empire since I was barely able to read. I was disappointed when I read the colonies rebelled against the Crown. After all Great Britain protected the colonies at great expense. I believe the USA would had been better off being in the Commonwealth!! I love the British songs customs etc I have the Union Jack hanging here at my home . Great blessings to you and your countrymen
@@garythorington1600 i totally agree with you, a lot of people in India feel like that so I hear, I think South Africa would definitely be better off they should have just concentrated on apartheid instead of independence. Yeah I think history would have been gone much better if America been in the commonwealth but I think we are in the minority. All the best to you too sir and thanks.🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴
@@RevoeLad I am so glad you responded I agree with everything you said . The Brits brought much to India and South Africa. Sure no nation is perfect but we brought the Gospel of Christ to all of these lands including North America, Australia and NZ. We also brought a lot of progress to all of these lands ! God bless the King and God Save the King. I know we are in the minority opinion
This was exactly what I needed after 5 days without seeing a soul. The spring is coming to England now, it's becoming green and pleasant once again. I do hope our American cousins know just how much we love and respect you. Keep safe and stay home 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Friends, brothers, sisters of the US armed forces. Greetings. I served 25 years in the Royal Navy as a rating and as an officer. While an officer, I was privileged to work alongside magnificent men and women of the US armed forces. My respect grew long. My respect grew true. We are, surely, brothers and sisters in arms. It is my honour to refer to you as such. No foe shall prevail.
I served seven years in the British Army, and, after a while, sixteen years in the Royal Navy. Jerusalem makes me think of my time in the services, of my mates that I served with, and most of all, the green and beautiful land that I joined up to protect. I have visited the United States many times and have met very many lovely people there, indeed, made very many good friends there. We and the Americans all share the same values. To hear Jerusalem sung by the future Officers and Commanders of the United States forces, enforces, in my view, the notion that we will never, ever, be apart. No one will separate us. Ever.
I pray it to be so, even though many on both sides of the Atlantic seem determined to passively ignore our common heritage or actively work to drive a wedge between us. Comments such as Dorian's above give me hope for the future of a world built upon the common values of the Anglosphere and not the might-makes-right law of the jungle of the authoritarian regimes of the planet.
As an Englishman , Jerusalem , has always touched something in my soul . To hear this performed by our dear American cousins takes it to a new level. Thank you so much.... God bless America
I love this hymn. And the many years of friendship between the US and UK. And our common language and common democratic values. Churchill said of England, "Never separate ourselves from the Americans." When my small nephew asked me, "Is England our friend?" I answered, "England is our best friend."
This song speaks to the soul of any Englishman. If you’re a country boy like me, it is the closest you can get, through thick layers of reserve, to describe a love of homeland on a deep level, beyond facile totems like flags, pomp and tradition. It is home. Green and pleasant.
LET me tell you something you stupid fuck, real men work their way up and not to worthless MASTER, MASTER SEARGEANTS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT SHOULD GET OFFICER STATUS YOU FAKE PUSSY BITCH. ITS ALL GOING TO HELL BECAUSE YOU BELIEVED FAKE IGNORANCE AND FAKE MAN HOOD YOU BITCH. good luck bitch.
I am an American and never had the honor to serve because I was excluded. My father served in WWII and when I was growing up, I would hear him hum this tune out of the corner of my ear while he was doing some household chore. I asked him once, "What's that song?" He said, "It's the National Anthem of England with whom we fought." He was a fine and funny man and I miss him. We played this at his funeral. Love.

They truly were our greatest friends and remain so to this day. From the grandson of a British Army Vet who fought along side many brave Americans in North Africa and France 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

As a Brit and absolute Monarchist, I was moved to tears by finding this simply wonderful posting sung beautifully by America's finest youth. The UK will always stand steady with the USA - Europe has never liked it nor will they ever do so. US grit is British grit - you will not be jostled or pushed by any jumped up State - nor will we for we are indeed born of the same blood.

I'm ANTI MONARCHIST they are a bunch of parasitic leeches and the monarchy should be abolished now that the Queen has passed away because the others are absolutely f**king useless...
A fantastic effort people, from a British Army Officer commissioned from the ranks and with 24 years service. I served along with my American brothers with pride. God bless you all and may he keep you safe.
God bless you for honouring us in this fashion. As an British ex-Army Officer with 31 years of service under my belt, I have had the very good fortune to fight alongside our American brethren on more than one occasion. Thank you and God bless you.
As a Briton, I can honestly say I’ve never heard Jerusalem sung better than this. At a time when my country, our culture and our history is under sustained attack, this brought a tear to my eye. Thank you, may our friendship and kinship last a thousand years.
This is, of course, a beautiful rendition full of pride. However, I’ve seen more people complaining about a full-court press on culture than actual attacks.
my sons were with American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and said they were outstanding. Thank you West point and God bless America. Friends forever. Jeff Mackie
A beautiful rendition. I always find it a tremendous mark of respect when people of one country sing the national song of another. It is not part of your own patriotic tradition but you know that it is part of another and so you honor that.
Indeed, one of our great virtues as Americans is our generosity, but we learned that from our British brothers. And yes, we will remind you of that at every opportunity. Thank you always for our steadfast bond.
As a Veteran, I can say this video will provoke our enemies "sensitivities" . All the more reason for me to enjoy it and celebrate it's reaffirmation of what I know and cherish. Our young Warriors of today are Marvelous! Semper Fi and God Bless You! Your road will be hard.
What a marvellous tribute to our friendship.... Like all family we have our differences but in the end we will always be there for each other. I never forget that we fought side by side against the worst of the worst and fought and won
Good grief! Thanks to the Brits for being our friends, and to the Glee Club for this beautiful, extremely musical rendition. I was in the 6th US Army Band, oh, back during the Cretaceous period, and have become a real crybaby for stuff like this. Can't get through it without tearing up!
Love it. I first sang this great anthem with the Cathedral Choral Society of Washington, D. C. in the early '90s and several times since in choral and church choir settings. Praise be to England! Praise be to God!
@marycarver1542 On St George's Day, 23 April 2010, the Commonwealth Games Council for England launched a poll to allow the public to decide which anthem would be played at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. Voters could choose between "God Save the Queen", "Jerusalem" and "Land of Hope and Glory" with the winning song being adopted as the official anthem for Team England. "Jerusalem" was declared the winner on 30 May 2010, securing 52% of the vote. It may not be adopted by the government, but the people in this case voted.
This is absolutely amazing to hear are friends and true allies across the pond singing this patriotic hymn. God bless America. From a British army veteran (Royal Corps of Transport/ Royal Logistic Corps/ army reserve).
This is an enormous compliment! Wonderful to see and hear this version. I admit to a personal interest because my eldest sister went "Stateside" (marriage) after WW2 and her US family descendants are now spread between Louisiana and California. God Bless America.
God bless America !! We will always stand shoulder to shoulder and fall side by side forever with our soldiers blood mixed on the battlefields of freedom !!! Love from England 🇬🇧🇺🇲
This is very well done, but when you've sat in the Royal Albert hall on the last night of the proms.....and this music first stirs, then builds...man, it makes the hackles rise on one's neck every time. To be amongst the audience and add one's own voice to this beautiful piece is a euphoric experience !
It hard to listen to this and not overwhelmed with emotion. Anyone British who has ever visited the United States of America can be in no doubt of the underlying and eternal bond between our two peoples. God Bless America!
At 72 years old I find I miss England very much especially all my brothers and sisters.This wonderful hymn makes my heart bleed.God bless this brilliant choir.Thank you very much.My brother Paul a high ranking officer in the RAF fought in the recent wars. Best wishes from North Carolina.
Thank you, West Point Glee Club, honoured you would sing our country,s hymn. Takes me back to my niece,s wedding in a lovely old Church of England (Anglican, Episcopalian) in a small village in Hampshire. I had returned from Canada with my Canadian hubby - the church was packed and when this beautiful hymn was sung, the rafters rang! Lovely memory! May our countries be forever allies and friends!
I will confess that I came to this video merely looking for a good version of this tune. What I found was not only an excellent rendition of an excellent hymn, but also an outpouring of love between two nations in the comments. I am astounded. God save The Queen
I am an American who served with British troops in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan and was proud to call them "brother," "comrade in arms" and more importantly, "FRIEND!" I was very moved the first time I heard this hymn in the movie Chariots of Fire in 1982. I am an Episcopalian (member of the Anglican Communion) and in '82 did not know this was really a hymn about England, but now know better. That doesn't change the fact that this a beautiful hymn, one filled with emotion and one that also reminds the English people just how special they are and how important their place in the world and its history is. I know there are many Brits who hate us, along with the French, Germans, Aussies (including the one who posted vulgar comments here about both our countries) and others. That doesn't change the facts that there is a truly "special relationship" between the British people, their nation and the USA. I do dislike when Brits post hateful commentaries here and have said so, but that also will NEVER change the fact that I was proud to serve alongside them men and women of the British forces and if ever I have to go to war again, and cannot do so with my fellow Americans, would NEVER hesitate to serve alongside my British comrades in arms. I wish the men and women of Her Majesty's Forces all the best in 2014 and the best for the people of the United Kingdom.
Thanks for your kind sentiments, Colonialpara. I may sometimes (indeed often!) disagree with the policies of the US. But the many American friends I have and their affection for Britain and England is treasured and reciprocated in kind. All the best for you and your nation.
Colonialpara I have a deep respect for American troops and for most American civilians as well excluding those that think they won world war 2 by themselves which i understand is a very small minority.
Martin Putt "...those that think they won world war 2 by themselves which i understand is a very small minority." Yes, they are. Sadly, because of something called "gerrymandering" (don't ask), some Supreme Court decisions allowing effectively unlimited campaign spending by the wealthy few, massive voter suppression, and a blatantly propagandistic corporate "news" media, this "very small minority" can win enough elections to effectively control our federal government. We call these people "Republicans." Cheers!
smartalek180 Ahh yes, if you are an American, you just showed your left wing bias. Well done. As Churchill once said: "If you are not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 40, you have no brain." Your inflammatory comments just proved the later half of that statement apply.
We would sing this as our school Hymn and usually only when a guest was there or on a special occasion.. I never failed to enjoy both singing it or hearing it. Thank you for such a beautiful rendition.
this weekend is memorial day in america ..my heart goes out to all the forces who lost loved ones friends and families ,,,in any wars that have happened .....this song is so beautiful and it says it all lol xx
oh boy ! you guys, just so moving......not a lot makes me weep you have! THANK YOU ALLI am part of a local choir here in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, we love singing one of England most loved and treasured songsI am now 73 ,I served in the Royal Air Force Uk in 1965 Thank you so very much
j colley I joined the RAF in 1965 ,and I will never slag off my country or the USA , I am proud to be British , and if it weren’t for the Americans , WW2 would have ended in favour of the Germans .
So beautiful it's enough to make me weep and weep. And to see the shining and innocent faces of the cadets adds to the, if you will, "holiness" of the experience.
To be born an Englishman is a great responsibility, it is to set an example to others and to hold back the tide against all odds. But most of all, to be born English is a gift from God.
Listen up I am a true Brit and thank you very much for your time and patience .We have in my beloved country a concert called the last night at the proms watch the last half an hour it will blow your mind .
Jerusalem Hymn And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountain 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 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 Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.
Fantastic well done . I love that song . Thank you from a English women . More so since we've lost our longest serving Monarch Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. September 8th 2022 after 70 years on the throne. God Save our new king . May you rest in peace your majesty. With your beloved Phillip by your side. Plus your mum dad snd sister to .
We owe our nation's heritage and beginning to our original Motherland, England. it is right and just to recognize the bond with which we will eternally share and we should always keep the ties that bind us strong.
I had the rare privilege and honour to perform on this pipe organ in 1968 when it was still the largest pipe organ in the world. "Jerusalem" is one of the most wonderful heritage pieces to all Brits. My friend was in a London pub where the lads spontaneously broke out singing the song. I believe this is one of the great heritage pieces which shows the great union between the UK and US.
We've visited USA a number of times on holiday. My wife and I were always overwhelmed by the kindness and welcoming approach of the American people we encounted. It's so nice to hear this hyme, which stires the heart of most Englishmen, sung in tribute by our sister nation as a tribute.
This has broken my hart This music comes from my childhood and now politicians have sold our country down the swanny and all for what streets no longer safe to walk down police with guns walking down the street My father had his leg blown off and half his back shot off fighting during the second world war and for what but thank you for bringing a bit of my childhood back many thanks from the UK
God bless you Tommy. Yes they are trying to foist on us their own corrupt version of British values but we fight on within ourselves for what is right. I will never give in to it. The song is a spur to me to carry on the fight for the real British values, not our politicians corrupt version. Thank you USA.
From a retired English cop, thank you. English heritage is seldom celebrated (even in England, where to do so attracts condemnation for being 'far right', unlike Scotch, Welsh and Irish nationalism). I'd love to see St. George's day parades in New York and across the USA.
Young American cadets of all colours and backgrounds combined to sing one of England's and even America's finest anthems as the theme is the same. God bless them all.

I'm ANTI MONARCHIST they are a bunch of parasitic leeches and the monarchy should be abolished now that the Queen has passed away because the others are absolutely f**king useless...
A fantastic effort people, from a British Army Officer commissioned from the ranks and with 24 years service. I served along with my American brothers with pride. God bless you all and may he keep you safe.
God bless you for honouring us in this fashion. As an British ex-Army Officer with 31 years of service under my belt, I have had the very good fortune to fight alongside our American brethren on more than one occasion. Thank you and God bless you.
As a Briton, I can honestly say I’ve never heard Jerusalem sung better than this. At a time when my country, our culture and our history is under sustained attack, this brought a tear to my eye. Thank you, may our friendship and kinship last a thousand years.
This is, of course, a beautiful rendition full of pride. However, I’ve seen more people complaining about a full-court press on culture than actual attacks.

Thank you West point and God bless America. Friends forever. Jeff Mackie
A beautiful rendition. I always find it a tremendous mark of respect when people of one country sing the national song of another. It is not part of your own patriotic tradition but you know that it is part of another and so you honor that.
From a very proud Englishman thank you to our special friends our history runs deep it always will 🇬🇧🇺🇲
One of my favourite hymns. Very well performed. These young people sang it so well.
Thank you. One of the great virtues of Americans is their generosity. This is remembered by their friends.
"One of the great virtues of Americans is their generosity": And don't they just *love* to remind us of it at every opportunity...
Indeed, one of our great virtues as Americans is our generosity, but we learned that from our British brothers. And yes, we will remind you of that at every opportunity. Thank you always for our steadfast bond.
@@billhaddad2953 thanks my friend. We have to stand together in these time of great danger.
Absolutely brilliant, they sung this as if it was their own. Respect.
As a Veteran, I can say this video will provoke our enemies "sensitivities" . All the more reason for me to enjoy it and celebrate it's reaffirmation of what I know and cherish. Our young Warriors of today are Marvelous! Semper Fi and God Bless You! Your road will be hard.
What a marvellous tribute to our friendship.... Like all family we have our differences but in the end we will always be there for each other. I never forget that we fought side by side against the worst of the worst and fought and won
Good grief! Thanks to the Brits for being our friends, and to the Glee Club for this beautiful, extremely musical rendition. I was in the 6th US Army Band, oh, back during the Cretaceous period, and have become a real crybaby for stuff like this. Can't get through it without tearing up!
I miss the Cretaceous period. I can remember it too. JFK was president when I was born, bless him.
Always raises the hairs on my neck. What a pleasure to hear it performed by an American choir!
We love our English brothers and sisters across the pond and will always be by your side in your time of need
Descendants from the mother land that’s why 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Love it. I first sang this great anthem with the Cathedral Choral Society of Washington, D. C. in the early '90s and several times since in choral and church choir settings. Praise be to England! Praise be to God!
Thank You from England. That was beautiful. God bless America.
Nice to hear people of the great USA singing the national anthem of England, God bless both our countries
@marycarver1542
On St George's Day, 23 April 2010, the Commonwealth Games Council for England launched a poll to allow the public to decide which anthem would be played at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. Voters could choose between "God Save the Queen", "Jerusalem" and "Land of Hope and Glory" with the winning song being adopted as the official anthem for Team England. "Jerusalem" was declared the winner on 30 May 2010, securing 52% of the vote.
It may not be adopted by the government, but the people in this case voted.
Its a HYMN but should be ENGLAND'S NATIONAL ANTHEM than that crap and boring god save the Queen/King
🏴🦁🦁🦁🏴
@@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13 Our National Anthem is short, but sweet.
God bless from England, Peace be with you 🇬🇧
This is absolutely amazing to hear are friends and true allies across the pond singing this patriotic hymn. God bless America. From a British army veteran (Royal Corps of Transport/ Royal Logistic Corps/ army reserve).
Nothing American has ever choked me up as this performance did. to know how much that they really treasure the transatlantic friendship
We do! Most of us, anyway. "Bless 'em all" "over there"!
This is an enormous compliment! Wonderful to see and hear this version. I admit to a
personal interest because my eldest sister went "Stateside" (marriage) after WW2 and
her US family descendants are now spread between Louisiana and California.
God Bless America.
A wonderful, uplifting tribute. As a U.K. veteran it made me feel proud and humbled. Thank you.
It always chokes me up listening to Jerusalem. So moving and beautiful.
God bless America !! We will always stand shoulder to shoulder and fall side by side forever with our soldiers blood mixed on the battlefields of freedom !!! Love from England 🇬🇧🇺🇲
This is very well done, but when you've sat in the Royal Albert hall on the last night of the proms.....and this music first stirs, then builds...man, it makes the hackles rise on one's neck every time. To be amongst the audience and add one's own voice to this beautiful piece is a euphoric experience !
It hard to listen to this and not overwhelmed with emotion. Anyone British who has ever visited the United States of America can be in no doubt of the underlying and eternal bond between our two peoples. God Bless America!
I am an humble servant but I love Jerusalem, and I love my Country equally, long live Britain!
At 72 years old I find I miss England very much especially all my brothers and sisters.This wonderful hymn makes my heart bleed.God bless this brilliant choir.Thank you very much.My brother Paul a high ranking officer in the RAF fought in the recent wars.
Best wishes from North Carolina.
A beautiful rendition of a British classic. May our Alliance last forever!
Correction: English NOT British. It in no way mentions either Wales nor Scotland.
As a Brit. I too, echo gratitude -----to be honored by West Point Cadet Glee Club----you did us proud------bless you
+Rick K *honoured.
You mean honoured & England is not, & never will be Britain. Alba gu brath & fuck the British state & all it's perfidious trappings. GTF!
@@KeithWilliamMacHendry ugh a scottish nationalist, you stupid country can piss off, im tired of the this
@@KeithWilliamMacHendry wow dude what’s your problem ?
Wonderful! There are no other words to describe this choir.
Beautiful solemn interpretation, but I still prefer the jubilant, celebratory Proms version.
Love coming back to hear this. Simply brilliant. Thanks West Point
Cadets. And to our American allies.
Thank you, West Point Glee Club, honoured you would sing our country,s hymn. Takes me back to my niece,s wedding in a lovely old Church of England (Anglican, Episcopalian) in a small village in Hampshire. I had returned from Canada with my Canadian hubby - the church was packed and when this beautiful hymn was sung, the rafters rang! Lovely memory! May our countries be forever allies and friends!
A lovely tribute by our American cousins. This hymn was sung at my wedding.
As an Englishman the good old yanks sang this heart rendering hymn with gusto 👌🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Will never forget singing Jerusalem in Hyde Park on the Last Night of the Proms with thousands of other people, tears streaming down my face.
Very well done Cousins, brought alump to my throat. God Bless America.
I will confess that I came to this video merely looking for a good version of this tune.
What I found was not only an excellent rendition of an excellent hymn, but also an outpouring of love between two nations in the comments.
I am astounded.
God save The Queen
My grandfather had been an organ builder and I am sure he would have loved that - they all sang their hearts out
absolutely beautiful. thanks from England
hear hear
I am an American who served with British troops in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan and was proud to call them "brother," "comrade in arms" and more importantly, "FRIEND!"
I was very moved the first time I heard this hymn in the movie Chariots of Fire in 1982. I am an Episcopalian (member of the Anglican Communion) and in '82 did not know this was really a hymn about England, but now know better. That doesn't change the fact that this a beautiful hymn, one filled with emotion and one that also reminds the English people just how special they are and how important their place in the world and its history is.
I know there are many Brits who hate us, along with the French, Germans, Aussies (including the one who posted vulgar comments here about both our countries) and others. That doesn't change the facts that there is a truly "special relationship" between the British people, their nation and the USA.
I do dislike when Brits post hateful commentaries here and have said so, but that also will NEVER change the fact that I was proud to serve alongside them men and women of the British forces and if ever I have to go to war again, and cannot do so with my fellow Americans, would NEVER hesitate to serve alongside my British comrades in arms.
I wish the men and women of Her Majesty's Forces all the best in 2014 and the best for the people of the United Kingdom.
The British hatred for USA is a vast minority today. Definitely agree that the special relationship is one of, if not the strongest in the world.
Thanks for your kind sentiments, Colonialpara. I may sometimes (indeed often!) disagree with the policies of the US. But the many American friends I have and their affection for Britain and England is treasured and reciprocated in kind. All the best for you and your nation.
Colonialpara I have a deep respect for American troops and for most American civilians as well excluding those that think they won world war 2 by themselves which i understand is a very small minority.
Martin Putt
"...those that think they won world war 2 by themselves which i understand is a very small minority."
Yes, they are.
Sadly, because of something called "gerrymandering" (don't ask), some Supreme Court decisions allowing effectively unlimited campaign spending by the wealthy few, massive voter suppression, and a blatantly propagandistic corporate "news" media, this "very small minority" can win enough elections to effectively control our federal government.
We call these people "Republicans."
Cheers!
smartalek180 Ahh yes, if you are an American, you just showed your left wing bias. Well done. As Churchill once said: "If you are not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 40, you have no brain."
Your inflammatory comments just proved the later half of that statement apply.
A superb rendering of a great hymn! I had no idea that cadets could sing like this!
Beautiful version of this masterpiece. Never heard better. This choir is top notch.
We would sing this as our school Hymn and usually only when a guest was there or on a special occasion.. I never failed to enjoy both singing it or hearing it. Thank you for such a beautiful rendition.
this weekend is memorial day in america ..my heart goes out to all the forces who lost loved ones friends and families ,,,in any wars that have happened .....this song is so beautiful and it says it all lol xx
Can't hear this song without a tear in my eye. God bless our forefathers from across the pond. So much of our western way of life we owe to them.
Im honored to have Great Britain as our allies. I lived in your country and loved it
oh boy ! you guys, just so moving......not a lot makes me weep you have! THANK YOU ALLI am part of a local choir here in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, we love singing one of England most loved and treasured songsI am now 73 ,I served in the Royal Air Force Uk in 1965 Thank you so very much
j colley I joined the RAF in 1965 ,and I will never slag off my country or the USA , I am proud to be British , and if it weren’t for the Americans , WW2 would have ended in favour of the Germans .
So beautiful it's enough to make me weep and weep. And to see the shining and innocent faces of the cadets adds to the, if you will, "holiness" of the experience.
Beautifully done choir and organ magnificent job. God bless you all.
To be born an Englishman is a great responsibility, it is to set an example to others and to hold back the tide against all odds.
But most of all, to be born English is a gift from God.
Yep, you guys are the greatest!
Beautifully sung and lovely pronunciation as well. God bless🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸
I am from East Timor, I really proud for singers
God bless you all😍😍👏
Listen up I am a true Brit and thank you very much for your time and patience .We have in my beloved country a concert called the last night at the proms watch the last half an hour it will blow your mind .
OMG I'm crying, this is so beautiful, you Americans will always be our greatest partners
Thank you. English and proud and ALWAYS a friend of America. Together we are strong. xxx
Jerusalem Hymn
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain 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 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 Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
Fantastic well done . I love that song . Thank you from a English women . More so since we've lost our longest serving Monarch Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. September 8th 2022 after 70 years on the throne. God Save our new king . May you rest in peace your majesty. With your beloved Phillip by your side. Plus your mum dad snd sister to .
I'm crying this second because I love England so much! England, will always be England! God Bless our beautiful England, Love you all.
Shame our political system douse not feel the same as us.
We owe our nation's heritage and beginning to our original Motherland, England. it is right and just to recognize the bond with which we will eternally share and we should always keep the ties that bind us strong.
Very well done Cadets! You rock! God I love this song, so mighty, so strong, so sweeping! God bless the UK!
All hail England and American allies the strongest bond you will ever see may they help each other in the most dangerous and difficult times
@john jack Many Americans are not aware that England is but part of the U.K.
Thank you very much guys! We are so proud to have you as our closest allies & greatest friends! - Love & respect from Essex UK!
I had the rare privilege and honour to perform on this pipe organ in 1968 when it was still the largest pipe organ in the world. "Jerusalem" is one of the most wonderful heritage pieces to all Brits. My friend was in a London pub where the lads spontaneously broke out singing the song. I believe this is one of the great heritage pieces which shows the great union between the UK and US.
God bless, with love from the U.K.
Beautiful, performed as well I've ever heard.
Always makes me sing along, thanks America (From a Welsh girl) :)
M y dad was in the royal Welsh fusiliers respect
Makes me so proud to see the faces of America singing this great British hymn.
A truly powerful and beautiful song! I wish England would rediscover this spirit.
Now that brought a lump to my throat! Thank you very much for such a sincere and magnificent rendition of Jerusalem. Terrific stuff!!
We've visited USA a number of times on holiday. My wife and I were always overwhelmed by the kindness and welcoming approach of the American people we encounted. It's so nice to hear this hyme, which stires the heart of most Englishmen, sung in tribute by our sister nation as a tribute.
This has broken my hart This music comes from my childhood and now politicians have sold our country down the swanny and all for what streets no longer safe to walk down police with guns walking down the street My father had his leg blown off and half his back shot off fighting during the second world war and for what but thank you for bringing a bit of my childhood back many thanks from the UK
God bless you Tommy. Yes they are trying to foist on us their own corrupt version of British values but we fight on within ourselves for what is right. I will never give in to it. The song is a spur to me to carry on the fight for the real British values, not our politicians corrupt version. Thank you USA.
From a retired English cop, thank you. English heritage is seldom celebrated (even in England, where to do so attracts condemnation for being 'far right', unlike Scotch, Welsh and Irish nationalism). I'd love to see St. George's day parades in New York and across the USA.
Brother's and Sisters in arms... forever England
A lovely tribute to Britain by our beautiful cadets. So pleasing.
Young American cadets of all colours and backgrounds combined to sing one of England's and even America's finest anthems as the theme is the same. God bless them all.
This is an absolutely beautiful rendition of what should be, in my opinion, England's national anthem.
So right. God Save The Queen is such an awful dirge.
Irelands call
no way ..there is always Elgar
Everyone thinks it should be the National Anthem except the BBC who would never allow it to be.
I agree...excellent hymn..sung well.
been watching an article on Blake on BBC South so needed a youtube fix of Jerusalem and up pops this gem
brought a lump to the throat of this gnarled old cove
well done West Point - allies forever
I'm another Brit who loves America. I have goosebumps listening to this. God Bless America!
