Jerusalem

From the soundtrack to my Dad's favorite movie, "Chariots of Fire." I find it appropriate to post this day as he turns 67 years old.

Happy Birthday Dad!

You'll note that the lyrics are actually taken from the poem at right, originally penned as a preface to Milton by William Blake nearly 200 years ago.

Now set to music, it is a divine and hymn-like song enjoyed by all of Great Britain ... and Anglophiles everywhere like myself!

(I should also mention that throngs of spectators often sing this anthem at rugby union matches in England!!!)
