Lyrics:

I was glad when they said unto me,
We will go into the house of the Lord.
Our feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is builded as a city, 
that is at unity in itself.

O pray for the peace of Jerusalem,
they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls, 
and plenteousness within thy palaces.
