Being Positive About England

Anyone who is English, is probably fed up to the back teeth when the British national anthem is played, mainly at sporting events, but probably at other events as well, instead of an anthem soley for England. Especially when we here Scotland, Wales and N.I. have their national anthems played instead of the British national anthem.

Well, I have decided to promote the Hymn "Jerusalem" as England's Nathional Anthem. It's a hymn that is sung in metaphore and is about bringing the English people closer to God. It supports the idea, that while not all Christian's don't actually go to church, it is still nevertheless a fine rallying song that can unite the English people.

Of course there is always those people who think another song might be better. So there is a link below to another website that has a poll so that we can see which song will be chosen by the English people.

Jerusalem

By William Blake

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 spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire

I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
