      The English national anthem, definitely.
      Land of Hope and Glory as a British national anthem.
      God Save the King has an anti-Scots verse in it, which does disqualify it.

    American singer Kris Delmhort arranged a beautiful solo acoustic version of this on The Waking, which is an EP companion of her Strange Conversations album. I first heard it there, then recognized in The Crown season six. Beautiful songs, beautiful poem.

      But it's only represent to England, just like O flower of Scotland and Danny boy, each four member of the United Kingdom have their regional anthem to represented the country, while "God save the king/queen" Union anthem for a whole country inside the UK, I know the sound is not something like you wanna hear it but what I'm saying is that the Country of the UK national hymn is blessing the king hymn, mostly played when king are represented *(commonwealth day, or kings birthday ehh...)* while the four each member of the UK anthem it's about their history, people, culture and its nature, so it's impossible to make this regional hymn to became official, cuz it's unofficial, every national anthem has their own meaning and their own uniqueness

      It's a nice song, but as it's specifically about England, it would not be appropriate for use as the anthem for the whole UK. I would like to see it used as an English national anthem in an official capacity though, I think the other nations' anthems do have official status but alas, ours does not. Pity, for it is a most excellent and rousing song. I'm not even religious and yet it is magical all the same! ❤

    Even as (especially as!) an atheist I just love it.
    But would it suit Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Islamics, ... Christians ... other atheists, other religionists etc etc (ad infinitem)? I don't see why not.
    Again, I love it.

      Your correction is only half right. True, Parry preferred “those,” and it’s usually “those” today. But Blake’s original poem has “these."

      Well, he played on the real possibility of the young Jesus traveling to Roman Britain with his trader uncle, but it is just an unconfirmed and amazing possibility that those feet also trod on England's green and pleasant land.

      No , your right, but I do believe that JESUS did walk upon the Mendip hills . One thing is for sure GOD 🙏 will tell us EVERYTHING about history that has been either hiden or lost throughout the years since JESUS left this earth 🌍. And sat down next to His Father in heaven
