"'''Jerusalem'''" was an [[English]] [[Human]] [[music|hymn]], adapted from a poem.
'''Jerusalem''' was the capitol of the nation Israel, a country in the Middle East. Jerusalem was the cause of many wars in the region, which eventually led to the [[Eugenics Wars]]. It was unknown to the Federation until [[2372]] that 20th century Jerusalem was inhabited by a pre-warp tripe of [[Ferengis]] called Jews.

Lyrics

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.
