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 were set the thrones of judgement 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.
