CHORUS
We shall go up into God's house with shout 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 were set the thrones of judgment
Of the house of David.
VERSE 4
For the peace of Jerusalem pray,
Peace be to your home
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.
