I REJOICE WHEN I HEARD THEM SAY (PSALM 122) CHORUS We shall go up into God’s house with shouts of joy We shall go into house of the Lord VERSE 1 I rejoiced when I heard them say: “Let us go to God's house,” And now our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem. VERSE 2 Jerusalem is built as a city strongly compact. It is there that the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord. VERSE 3 For Israel's law it is There to praise the Lord's name, There were set the thrones of judgment, Of the house of David. VERSE 4 For the peace of Jerusalem, pray: “Peace be to your homes! May peace reign in your walls, In your palaces, peace!” VERSE 5 For love of my brethren and friends, I say: “Peace upon you!” For love of the house of the Lord, I will ask for your good. VERSE 6 Praise the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit Both now and forever, The God who is, who was and is to come At the end of the ages.
