Did you leave out a word after "your"?
Probably you're thinking of Blake's Preface to Milton, set to music by Parry. When people later made it into a hymn they renamed it "Jerusalem."

I guess you can sing it with your feet in a tea chest if you want.
Most people who sing it don't know the theology behind it, which is that Christ is not a person but a state, which is resurrected whenever and wherever we act in a way that's Christ-like. It's a long-held view of mystics, including St. Theresa of Avila.
Blake's Jerusalem is a long poem.
