Under these circumstances, Bridges, finding the poem an appropriate hymn text to "brace the spirit of the nation [to] accept with cheerfulness all the sacrifices necessary," [31] asked Sir Hubert Parry to put it to music for a Fight for Right campaign meeting in London's Queen's Hall. It has been sung on BBC's Songs Of Praise for many years; in a countrywide poll to find the UK's favourite hymn in 2019, it was voted top, relegating previous favourite " How Great Thou Art" into second place. Before 2008, it was the anthem used by the national side, as " God Save the Queen" was used by the Great Britain team: since the Lions were superseded by England, "God Save the Queen" has replaced "Jerusalem".Although it was never adopted as the WI's official anthem, in practice it holds that position, and is an enduring element of the public image of the WI.

The change to "Jerusalem" seems to have been made about the time of the 1918 Suffrage Demonstration Concert, perhaps when the orchestral score was published (Parry's manuscript of the orchestral score has the old title crossed out and "Jerusalem" inserted in a different hand).

Amanda Gilroy argues that the poem is informed by Blake's "evident pleasure" in the Felpham countryside. Parry was delighted and orchestrated the piece for the concert (it had originally been for voices and organ). The arrangement of the hymn is notable for its use of the first polyphonic synthesizer, the Moog Apollo.com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US.
