I rejoiced when i heard

I rejoiced 

when I heard 

the people saying 

Let’s go to the 

temple of the Lord, 

And now 

at last our

 feet are standing 

Within your gates,

 O Jerusalem!

Jerusalem, 

O fairest city,

So strongly built 

as one united whole!

It is there that the 

tribes now gather,

All the tribes to 

worship the Lord.

 

I rejoiced 

when I heard 

the people saying 

Let’s go to the 

temple of the Lord, 

And now 

at last our

 feet are standing 

Within your gates,

 O Jerusalem!

For the peace of Jerusalem, pray

Prosperity to all your 

dwelling places.

Let there be peace 

everywhere within 

your ramparts

Let there be safety

 within your towers.

I rejoiced when

 I heard 

the people saying 

Let’s go to the 

temple of the Lord, 

And now 

at last our

 feet are standing 

Within your gates,

 O Jerusalem!

Jerusalem, 

O fairest city,

So strongly built 

as one united whole!

It is there that the

All the tribes to 

worship the Lord.

 

I rejoiced when

 I heard 

the people saying 

Let’s go to the 

temple of the Lord, 

And now 

at last our

 feet are standing 

Within your gates,

 O Jerusalem!
