When I am down and out thinking that the crazies are creating a total dystopian world with no sign of hope, I read the lyrics and hear the music, which relaunches my energy to HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

We need more men praying. Our England will last on, as you see the people are tested, the weeds seperated from the wheat. Globalism has propagandised the education system. It is a virus as you see

[@SuzanaMantovaniCerqueira]

How beautiful to see all family together during this Advent Season. Delightful moment. The Princess is back! I am so grateful to Our Lady, Our Lord and Jesus Christ that our dear Princess Catherine is alive ! 🥲 Getting better day after day, after all health and family problems she has been facing. I wish the same for all people in the universe, struggling with similar things. Many blessings, dear family. I like you all so much and I wish, from the bottom of my heart, lots of blessings ! Happy and Blessed Advent’s Season!

Always brings a tear to the eye. England’s unofficial national anthem.

[@michaelhayden725]

It always stirs me to thought as to how it, the original poem, was written in the very early 19th century. It then went on to stir a nation and then provide the inspired title of one the great films. Cheers!

[@jep1912]

THIS SHOULD BE OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.

absolutely lovely so moving and sincere as an american, i'd like to submit a version that americans and citizens of the commonwealth might sing : And did those Feet in ancient Time walk upon England's Mountains green And was the holy Lamb of G-d on England's pleasant Pastures seen And did the Countenance Divine shine forth upon her clouded Hills And was Jerusalem builded there, 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 the sword sleep in my Hands 'Til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant Lands

Jerusalem by Sir Hubert Parry (1848-1918)🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 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 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.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@charlesramsay2401]

Actually I had received it from an Anglican Digest back in 1980's. It only has been recent Jerusalem' has been introduced via KZbin that I've been fascinated but what cemented the glue was a feature the West Point glee club sang it in respect to our British allies which had received raves all over the world.

Wonderful hymn. We don’t sing it so much in the Colonies, alas.

[@EvelynElaineSmith]

Right now, what I would give for some green & pleasant land, although I live in a place nicknamed "Jerusalem on the Brazos" (a.k.a. Waco, Texas). Great performance, BTW.

These are true patriots. Not far right, racist, mysogenic, homophobic bigots but genuine gentle people that wish to retain our values, culture, beliefs and civility. No one is allowed to break that nor will it be.

Wanting to retain your values, culture, beliefs, and civility? That's a racist dogwhistle, I'm afraid.

@@brentwestbrook I'll remind you that I'm simply relaying what I've been told by liberals: wanting to retain you culture, beliefs, values, and civility, is an extremist position.

Memories of school in the 1980s. Vincit qui patitur.

[@charlesramsay2401]

Actually the version I've read is legendary that involves before his revelation Jesus Christ who had been hired as carpenter on trading ship which had conducted business on Britannia. When he had introduced his gospel to the pagan world. It wasn't until Joseph of Armethia brought the news about the death and resurrection of Jesus and brought the chausabil from the Last Supper to Brittania. It would produce very early Christiendom to where the Abbeys started way before Saint Augustine arrived to bring forth The Roman Church rites. This would include the Arthurian quest to locate Holy Grail from Camelot.

Voices well blended.

[@Mike-pf1ru]

This comes from the theory among some ancient historians that the Ten Tribes of Israel who were exiled by the Assyrians in 750 BC migrated to Europe, and therefore Europeans are actually the blood descendants of the Biblical Israelites who crossed the Red Sea out of Egypt.

[@BigBrotherMateyka]

I think rather that 'Jerusalem' is a metaphorical reference, theorizing that Jesus may have visited England during an unknown time in his life between his childhood and adult years. Hence, "And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountains green", is in reference to his potential visitation, and describes a sort of spiritual idealism with his work in the proverbial Holy Land as written in the Bible.

[@joksal9108]

No.

[@barbaraferron7994]

I read that it's about a legend that Joseph of Armethea who gave his tomb to Jesus was Jesus' uncle. He had tin mines in England and brought Jesus to visit England when Jesus was a lad.

[@Mike-pf1ru]

@@barbaraferron7994 It's interesting that the Israelites would have had any ties to the British Isles in the first place. Why would that be? The English suffix "ain" means land. "Mount-ain" Terr-ain" etc. "Brit" is the Hebrew word for Covenant, so Brit-ain means "Covenant Land". The name of the tribe of Dan is all over Europe too. The vowels were not written in the Hebrew so they are interchangable. Denmark, the Danube river, Dunkirk, Dun Leoghaire etc. Den, Dan, Dun - countless places have that name. The Scandinavian alphabet is taken from the hewbrew alphabet. The Welsh language is very close to the Hebrew language. So many things seem to tie together, but it's not 100% certain.

[@barbaraferron7994]

So I have heard.

[@kfrausto]

Is this sung primarily in Anglican churches? Or also in Catholic?
