Blake's New Jerusalem is an album by Tim Blake, recorded and originally released in 1978 on Barclay.
The album was remastered and expanded in 2017, adding three more tracks.
The title is a reference to the popular British hymn "Jerusalem", which is based on William Blake's 1804 poem "And did those feet in ancient time".
Tim Blake performed the tracks "Lighthouse" and "Blake's New Jerusalem" live with Hawkwind. "A Song for a New Age" was covered by Hawkwind bandmates Dave Brock, Niall Hone and Richard Chadwick under the name Hawkwind Light Orchestra for the album Stellar Variations.
