Wasn’t there a legend that said that Jesus came to England? That’s what I’m reminded of by reading Blake’s words.

I don’t know about England, but there is a legend that Jesus went to Japan. Maybe I should write about that sometime soon.

Dude got around. Some people think he came to Glastonbury, some say Cornwall, there’s a lot of “experts” out there, but apparently a Scottish academic has a theory: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8380511.stm

By the way, we are way overdue for another English country dance at the Coddington Road Community Center.

I love that hymn probably because I associate with many English films where it pops up whenever there’s a scene set in a church. I agree with your interpretation of the words, although I can see why it would spark the other.
