And Did Those Feet In Ancient Times - Jerusalem Hymn

A video published by Christian Sermons and Audio Books on December 20th, 2019

“And did those feet in ancient time” is a short poem by William Blake from the preface to his epic Milton: a Poem, which was printed in 1808. Today, the poem is best known as the stirring anthem ‘Jerusalem’, with music written by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916. The anthem is both a hymn and an unoffical British national anthem. It has been a part of popular culture for over a century and has been used in television, film, and the Royal Wedding. Many of the lines have passed into popular idiom, such a “green and pleasant land” and “dark satanic mills”. The poem was inspired by the apocryphal story that a young Jesus, accompanied by Joseph of Arimathea, a tin merchant, travelled to what is now England and visited Glastonbury during his unknown years. The legend is linked to the Book Of Revelation (3:12 and 21:2) describing the Second Coming, wherein Jesus establishes a New Jerusalem. William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. What he called his prophetic works were said by 20th-century critic Northrop Frye to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language".[2] His visual artistry led 21st-century critic Jonathan Jones to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced".
