Selections from ‘Jerusalem’

Introduction

THIS theme calls me in sleep night after night, and ev’ry morn

Awakes me at sunrise; then I see the Saviour over me

Spreading His beams of love, and dictating the words of this mild song:

‘Awake! Awake! O sleeper of the Land of Shadows, wake! expand!

I am in you, and you in Me, mutual in Love Divine;

Fibres of love from man to man thro’ Albion’s pleasant land.’
