William Blake composed a poem titled "And did those feet in ancient time" around the beginning of the 1800s. The poem's lyrics were turned into the hymn known as "Jerusalem." Many years after the poem's initial publication, the music was composed. The arrangement's composer was Hubert Parry.
Although the national anthem for the UK is "God Save the King," England frequently plays "Jerusalem," which has evolved into an unofficial second national anthem, during sporting events like the Commonwealth Games, where each of the home nations is represented independently.
The hymn "Jerusalem" is sung in the closing sequences of the 1981 movie "Chariots of Fire."
