Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
I rejoiced when I heard them say:
"Let us go to the house of God."
And now our feet are standing
In your gates O Jerusalem!
CHORUS
Shalom, shalom,
The peace of God be here.
Shalom, shalom,
God's Justice be ever near.
VERSE 2
Like a temple of unity,
Is the city Jerusalem,
It is there all tribes will gather,
All the tribes of the house of God.
VERSE 3
It is faithful to Israel's law,
There to praise the name of God,
All the judgement seats of David
Were set down in Jerusalem.
VERSE 4
For the peace of all nations pray,
For God's peace within your homes.
May God's lasting peace surround us
May it dwell in Jerusalem.
VERSE 5
For the love of my friends and kin,
I will bless you with signs of peace,
For the love of God's own people
I will labour and pray for you.
