Blake – Jerusalem lyrics
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! Oh, 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!

    Did Jesus come to England? It's quite possible. There was regular trade between the Middle East and Falmouth Cornwall in Biblical times, when the Phoenicians came to trade for tin from the local tin mines. I was told that one of these mines was owned by Joseph of Aramethea. I believe he was related to Jesus. Joseph certainly visited Cornwal[ and may well have brought Jesus with him, Nothing is known of Jesus from the time he was a boy until he was an adult o he could have made the journey during this gap in the record of his life. I like to think so. Had Blake heard of it?
