I Was Glad When They Said

Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #414 (1977) First Line: I was glad when they said unto me Lyrics: I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go to the house of the Lord. For 'twas there that my heart longed to be, For I hungered to feed on the Word. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem, The spirit here for blessing waits, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compacted together whither the tribes go up Unto the testimony of Israel. To give thanks unto the name, To give thanks unto the name, To give thanks unto the name, To give thanks unto the name, To give thanks to the name of the Lord. Pray, pray, pray, pray, Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Peace be within thy walls, Peace be within thy walls, Peace be within thy walls and prosperity, and prosperity, And prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companion's sake I now will say, Peace be within thee. Peace be within thee, Because of the house of my God, I will seek thy good, Because of the house of my God, I will seek thy good. Because of the house of my God, I will seek thy good, Because of the house of my God, I will seek thy good. Amen.
