I found my "crib" sheet for Jeruselem-

JERUSALEM

And did those feet in ancient time
walk upon Scotland's mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
on Scotland'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 metal
fight;
nor shall my sword sleep in my
hand
till we have built Jerusalem
in Scotland's green and
pleasant land.

Dean
