Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
Psalm 122
***********
I was glad when they said to me
Let us go, come now, see
Into the house of the LORD, for
We shall stand there, 'tis sure
His house at Jerusalem be
A city compactly
Built together, it firm and strong
We sing with joyful song
The people of the LORD there go
To His Temple, and show
Their praise to Him, and thanks Him give
The LORD, who e'er does live
For there are set thrones of judgement
Of justice, discernment
Pray for Jerusalem its peace
That conflicts, troubles cease
They shall prosper who the city
Do love, so shall it be
Peace be within your walls, and too
Your palaces anew
For sakes of brethren, companions
To human daughters, sons
I will now say, Peace be in you
I shall seek your good true
