I was glad when they said to me Let us go to the house of the Lord Our feet have been standing within your gates oh Jerusalem I was glad when they said to me Let us go to the house of the Lord Our feet have been standing within your gates oh Jerusalem Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem Built as a city bound firmly together Where the tribes go up The tribes of the Lord As it was decreed for Israel To give thanks to the name of the Lord There the thrones for judgment were set The thrones of the house of David (in Jerusalem) Jerusalem... Pray for the peace of Jerusalem May all those who love you be blessed Peace within your walls, security abounding For the sake of your brothers and friends We declare, "Peace to you!" Because of the house of our God We will seek your good Jerusalem...
