Is this the same song that is being sung at the end of "Chariots of Fire"? If so, it's one of my favorites!
I'm going to have to tape this. If I start watching it, I'll be bawling and I have to go somewhere early tomorrow afternoon!
I don't think so. The one you are thinking of is a setting of William Blake's poem:
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 these 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.
