William Blake's Poem "Jerusalem"

William Blake, born 1757,  died 1827, was a passionate Christian but one who vehemently disliked the Church of England as equally as he did all organised religion. Odd that his poem about the Christian Messiah's mythical journey to this island home of mine has become both an alternative national anthem but also a hymn sang by members of the multi-faceted, fractured Christian faith. Here it is beautifully sung by choir and congregation at St. George's Chapel, Windsor.
