In fairness, Jesus didn't think he was right all the time.

 I had to learn this off by heart at school in the 50's...for a rousing rendition at assembly.

 I had no doubt about England's greatness....we still had an empire back then until Eden fucked up  :cunt:

This is the hymn for the Women's Institute!!  They are meant to sing it at every meeting I believe!

Now you are being totally unrealistic, Judas Priest never hit the charts till about the year 70AD well after Jesus's death! :D

Perhaps before suggesting it as a national anthem, someone might do a bit of research into the poem, what Blake's politics were, what he was actually saying about his country.  The irony of its bombastic tune, and its singing at the Last Night of the Proms etc with Union Flags waving would have tickled Blake!!!

It would have tickled Parry its composer too.. he was a humanist and socialist and wrote it as a supporter of womens suffrage, not as a bombastic anthem.
