With joy and gladness in my soul
I hear the call to prayer;
Let us go up to God’s own house
|:And bow before Him there.:|
We stand within thy sacred walls,
O Zion, blest for aye,
Wherein the people of the Lord
|:United homage pay:|
They come to learn Jehovah’s will,
His mighty deeds to own,
For there is judgment’s royal seat,
|:Messiah’s kingly throne:|
O pray that Zion may be blest
And have abundant peace,
For all that love thee in their hearts
|:Shall prosper and increase:|
I pray the Lord that peace may still
Within thy walls abound,
And ever in thy palaces
|:Prosperity be found:|
Yea, for the sake of friends and kin,
My heart desires thy peace,
And for the house of God the Lord
|:My care shall never cease:|
