O Blake, would that thou wert living in this hour! I do love this song, and think it would be a better national anthem for Britain than God Save the Queen; Blake is not, however, any kind of Christian we would recognize. I taught this poem in a community college lit class last year and they did not get it. At all. Very sad.
