Refrain:
I rejoiced when they said to me:
"Let us go unto the house of the Lord!"
Standing there, O Jerusalem,
In your gates unto the house of the Lord.
Look upon Jerusalem
The city now restored.
Here the tribes of Yahweh come
As one unto the Lord.
Refrain:
I rejoiced when they said to me:
"Let us go unto the house of the Lord!"
Standing there, O Jerusalem,
In your gates unto the house of the Lord.
As He ordered Israel
They come to praise His name.
Here where courts of justice
The courts of David reign.
Pray for peace, Jerusalem,
Prosperity at home
Peace inside your city walls
That comes from God alone.
Refrain:
I rejoiced when they said to me:
"Let us go unto the house of the Lord!"
Standing there, O Jerusalem,
In your gates unto the house of the Lord.
Since we are God's people
I say, "Peace be to you."
May the God who dwells in us
Your happiness renew.
Refrain:
I rejoiced when they said to me:
"Let us go unto the house of the Lord!"
Standing there, O Jerusalem,
In your gates unto the house of the Lord.
Unto the King eternal,
Unto the King immortal,
Unto the King invisible,
The only wise God, the only wise God.
Now unto the King eternal,
Unto the King immortal,
Unto the King invisible,
The only wise God, the only wise God.
O, unto the King be glory and honor,
Unto the King forever,
Unto the King be glory and honor
Forever and ever
Amen. Amen.
