This is the first time I see this anthem played for England at a sporting event. It was great. Change England's anthem as soon as possible. I can really feel this one.

[s.j.l.]

This should be England's number one anthem. Never mind god save the queen that's the British one.

[TeamCanada]

And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon Englands[8] mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands 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 Englands green & pleasant Land

If it sung “God Save The Queen/King, it’s the official Anthem of Scotland, England, and Royal Anthem of Canada

The England cricket team come out to Jerusalem at home internationals.

[That_Random_Bloke]

Please have this as the English anthem

[LimaFoxtrot_]

This brought me to tears in seconds. Get rid of God Save the Queen. She is not the exclusive symbol of England, the Queen is the monarch of many nations, not just ours!

[mdjcsmith]

England's rugby league team don't use this do they? I think they use Land of Hope and Glory?

[IainG]

I would love this instead of "God Save the Queen" when England play. It's a decent sounding anthem

[TeamCanada]

A Christian anthem for a Christian nation

[thesmithersy]

They only played the first verse. It's too long for an anthem. I know for the Commonwealths we have to use a unique anthem but elsewhere "God save The Queen" is the English anthem.

[Whatwhat]

not one person sining on home soil because no one knows the words

[georgemacpherson]

Epic fail. They got the nation anthem wrong. It was supposed to be god save the queen.
