"Jerusalem" was a hymn sung at one of Winifred Gillyflower's meetings in 1893 at a church near Sweetville. Gillyflower led the song, and the entire congregation, excluding Jenny Flint, joined in.

Its lyrics included:

Bring me my bow of burning gold;
Bring me my arrows of desire.

(TV: The Crimson Horror)
