'Jerusalem' - Unofficial National Anthem of England
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2023
- 'Jerusalem' is a famous hymn and unofficial anthem of England, widely regarded for its patriotic and spiritual significance. The lyrics were penned by the renowned poet and painter William Blake in 1804 as part of a preface to his epic poem "Milton." The poem "Milton" focuses on themes of spirituality, social injustice, and the search for a utopian society.
The lyrics of "Jerusalem" evoke a strong sense of national pride and a yearning for a better, more just England. The opening lines, "And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountains green," allude to a legendary tale of England in the antiquity.
The hymn's popularity grew in the early 20th century, and it became an emblem of national identity during moments of national celebration or remembrance. Its use has been particularly prominent during sporting events, including rugby and cricket matches, where it is sung with great fervour by the crowd.
In 1916, Sir Hubert Parry, a British composer, set the lyrics of "Jerusalem" to music, creating the beautiful and stirring hymn that is now widely recognized. Parry's arrangement further contributed to the song's enduring popularity and made it a staple in various patriotic events and ceremonies.

Who would have thought that a small island nation would, over the course of 1000 years, change the face of the world forever
Over the course of 1000 years..?
@@InqvisitorMagnvs England was founded in the year 927 which was almost 1100 years ago
@@gabrielaldworth7476 You mean an English monarchical title was claimed in 927; the English people had already lived in Anglo-Saxon kingdoms on the island for centuries prior. But Æthelstan was not sailing around the world creating English colonies. The English (and soon British) colonial empire that “changed the face of the world” rose over a much shorter period more like 300 years c. 1600-1900.
@@InqvisitorMagnvs it had to have started somewhere
@@gabrielaldworth7476 Then it started in Jamestowne, Virginia in 1607 (after Roanoke Colony had disappeared in 1590).
Old England forever! 🏴
God Bless Merry Old England!
@@Imperial_Britannia What do you think of the arms attributed to Edward the Confessor and the first flag of England, the Dragon of Wessex flag used from Alfred the Great to Edward the Confessor.
@@VitorHugo-rs7qy In what way? If I like the design? If I think it’s historically accurate? What about them?
@@Imperial_Britannia Would the change from Alfred the Great's Dragon Flag to the lion flag and later the Saint George's Cross flag, and would the use of those weapons in a video be possible?
@@VitorHugo-rs7qy the only way that would be possible is if there was a song from the era where those flags were used, ie an Anglo Saxon song would have a dragon flag of england
This song is doubly moving for those of us who are devout Christians and can understand what the real, deeper meaning of the lyrics are.
Love to England from America 🇺🇸🤝🏴
Best version I've ever heard.
That was a fabulous rendition of this song. I liked the way you put all the video clips together as well, nicely done.
I’ve had this song sitting incomplete for about a month because it is such a monumental song and I wanted it to be perfect, I think in the end it’s just as good as I could get, I’m glad you liked it. Maybe now I can work on the actual real ‘Rule Britannia’ and not historical versions or off lyrical changes.
Our gorgeous England 💕❤💜
Never heard this recording, thanks
This video was a punch in the gut for me. Seeing the passing faces of history and the music. Bravo!!!
Thank you so much 💜
It’s my pleasure mate
This song I feel would make a better national anthem than the current, although due to the long history of the current one I probably wouldn't change it. There's something much more emotionally moving about a song that talks about England itself, our homeland, than on that talks purely of our monarch, I like the monarchy in the sense that it is a piece of history preserved and I want to keep it for that reason, but I don't feel any huge passion for them nor does the current anthem stir me particularly, but this on the other hand, is our song, for us and about us, you can just feel the pride through your veins, not for anything other than yourself, your family, friends, everyone who you know who lives here, and the land itself.
God save the king
JERUSALEM
(State Anthem of England)
Lyrics in English:
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 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 chariots 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.
BÄYT ÄL-MÄQDİS
(Angliä töbäge gimnı)
Tranlated into Tatar:
Borın zaman keşeläre
Elek biredä yörgänme?
Allahınıñ päyğämbäre
İngliz cirenä iñgänme?
Bezneñ Watan tufrağına
İman nurları señgänme?
Şaytan tegermäne urınına
Bäyt Äl-Mäqdis tözelgänme?
Altın cäyämne biregez!
Uqlar, söñge kiteregez!
Açılsınnar bolıtları!
Telgä kilsen kük tupları!
Min köräştän tuqtamam hiç,
Bulır qılıç gel qulımda,
Tözelgänçe Bäytäl-Mäqdis
Güzäl Angliä quyınında.
I really admire Queen Victoria, and Queen Charlotte, such fecund women. They truly did "lie back and think of England (Britain)." One hopes they enjoyed it of course, but to dedicate one (and one's) orifice to such a constant barrage is true patriotism! I hope the new one will be equally willing, I know she is a lot older but we crave the progeny 🇬🇧 👑
Had to spoil the video with Blair.
And Thatcher

I thought Jerusalem was in Israel?
The song isn’t referring to Jerusalem as a city but more of a concept, a place of perfection and utopia, so the song isn’t really saying that England shall be were Jerusalem is but that England shall become holy and perfect.
@@Imperial_Britannia I went to a terrible high school which had Jerusalem as the school song so I have an intense dislike of it. As a Lay Preacher I will NEVER use it in any service I lead.
Jerusalem means the Heavenly Jerusalem aka the Kingdom of the Lord God. The song is saying that one must engage in spiritual warfare until the Heavenly Kingdom becomes manisfest in England by the grace of Christ.
ELP did it better 🤪
No way. That is a limp version. This is the real thing
