Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
I rejoiced when I heard them say
Let us go to the house of God
And now our feet are standing
In your gates O Jerusalem.
VERSE 2
Like a temple of unity
Is the city Jerusalem
It is there all tribes will gather,
All the tribes of the house of God.
VERSE 3
He is faithful to Israel's Lord
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 & kin
I will bless you with signs of peace
For the love of God's own people
I will and pray for
REFRAIN
Shalom, shalom,
The peace of God be here.
Shalom, shalom,
God's justice be ever near.
