1
My heart was glad to hear the welcome sound, The call to seek Jehovah's house of prayer; Our feet are standing here on holy ground, Within thy gates, thou city grand and fair.
2
God's people to Jerusalem repair To hear His word and worship Him with praise; The throne of justice stands eternal there, Messiah's throne through endless length of days.
3
Let earnest prayer be made for Zion's peace; Thy sons who hold thee dear shall prosper well; May blessing in thy palaces increase And peace within thy walls forever dwell.
4
For all my brethren and companion's sakes My prayer shall be, Let peace in thee abide; Since God the Lord in thee His dwelling makes, To thee my love shall never be denied.
