CHORUS
We shall go up into God's house with sound of joy
We shall go into the house of the Lord.
VERSE 1
I rejoiced when I heard them say:
"Let us go to God's house."
And now our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem.
VERSE 2
Jerusalem is built as a city
Strongly compact.
It is there that the tribes go up,
The tribes of the Lord.
VERSE 3
For Israel's law it is,
There to praise the Lord's name.
There we set the thrones of judgment
Of the house of David.
VERSE 4
For the peace of Jerusalem pray:
"Peace be to your homes!"
May peace reign in your walls,
In your palaces, peace!
VERSE 5
For love of my brethren and friends
I say: "Peace upon you!"
For love of the house of the Lord
I will ask for your good.
