→Text: O love of God, how strong and true
'''And did those feet in ancient time''' is the verse part of the prose/verse preface of a poem, "Milton – a poem", written and printed by the English poet [[William Blake]] in the first decade of the 19th Century. It recalls the legend that the Lord Jesus travelled to [[England]]. 'Jerusalem' is used as a metaphor for the kingdom of heaven, and the poem exhorts the audience to fight for a reassertion of God's rule on earth. It is a veiled protest against the conditions spreading throughout this "green and pleasant land" with the growing effects of the Industrial Revolution.

==Christian Hymn==
(1) O love of God, how strong and true!
Eternal, and yet ever new;
Uncomprehended and unbought,
Beyond all knowledge and all thought.
O love of God, how deep and great!
Far deeper than man's deepest hate;
Self-fed, self-kindled, like the light,
Changeless, eternal, infinite.
(2) O heavenly love, how precious still,
In days of weariness and ill,
In nights of pain and helplessness,
To heal, to comfort, and to bless!
O wide embracing, wondrous love!
We read you in the sky above,
We read you in the earth below,
In seas that swell and streams that flow.
(3) We read you best in Him Who came
To bear for us the cross of shame;
Sent by the Father from on high,
Our life to live, our death to die.
We read thy power to bless and save,
E'en in the darkness of the grave;
Still more in resurrection light,
We read the fullness of thy might.
(4) O love of God, our shield and stay
Through all the perils of our way!
Eternal love, in thee we rest
Forever safe, forever blest.
We will exalt you, God Almighty,
And we will ever praise your name;
We will extol you ev'ry day,
And ever more your praise proclaim.
