Hymnal: VU1996 #846 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: I joyed when to the house of God Lyrics: 1 I joyed when to the house of God
"Go up," they said to me.
Jerusalem, within thy gates
our feet shall standing be.
2 Jerusalem our city is
firm built and strongly stands;
unto that place the tribes go up,
pilgrims from all its lands.
3 Pray that Jerusalem may have
peace and felicity:
let them that love thee and thy peace
have still prosperity.
4 Therefore I wish that peace may still
within thy walls remain,
and ever may thy palaces
prosperity retain.
5 Now, for my friends’ and kindred’s sakes,
"Peace be in thee," I’ll say;
and for the house of God our Lord,
I’ll seek thy good alway. Scripture: Psalm 122 Languages: English Tune Title: ST PAUL
