Unto the house of the Lord

I rejoiced when they said to me
“Let us go unto the house of the Lord”
Standing there, O Jerusalem
In your gates unto the house of the Lord

Look upon Jerusalem, the city now restored
Here the tribes of Yahweh
Come as one unto the Lord

I rejoiced when they said to me
“Let us go unto the house of the Lord”
Standing there, O Jerusalem
In your gates unto the house of the Lord

As He ordered Israel they come to praise His name
Here where courts of justice
The courts of David reign

I rejoiced when they said to me
“Let us go unto the house of the Lord”
Standing there, O Jerusalem
In your gates unto the house of the Lord

Pray for peace Jerusalem, prosperity at home
Peace inside your city walls
That comes from God alone

I rejoiced when they said to me
“Let us go unto the house of the Lord”
Standing there, O Jerusalem
In your gates unto the house of the Lord

Since we are God’s people, I say “Peace be to you!”
May the God who dwells in us
Your happiness renew
