REFRAIN
Shalom! shalom! the peace of God be here.
Shalom, shalom, God's Justice be ever near.
VERSE 1
I rejoic'd when I heard them say:
Let us go to the house of God
and now our feet are standing
in your gates, oh Jerusalem.
VERSE 2
Like a temple of unity
is the city Jerusalem.
It is there all tribes will gather,
all the tribes of Jerusalem.
VERSE 3
It is faithful to Israel's law,
there to praise the name of God.
All the judgement seats of David
were set down in Jerusalem.
VERSE 4
For the peace of all nations pray
for God's peace within your homes.
May God's lasting peace surround us;
may it dwell in Jerusalem.
VERSE 5
For the love of my friends and kin
I will bless you with sign of peace.
For the love of God's own people
I will labour and pray for you.
