My heart was glad to hear the welcome sound, the call to seek Jehovah’s house of prayer; our feet are standing here on holy ground, within thy gates, thou city grand and fair. God’s people to Jerusalem repair to hear his word and worship him with praise; the throne of justice stands eternal there, Messiah’s throne through endless length of days. Let earnest prayer be made for Zion’s peace; thy sons who hold thee dear shall prosper well; may blessing in thy palaces increase and peace within thy walls forever dwell. For all my brethren and companions’ sakes my prayer shall be, let peace in thee abide; since God the Lord in thee his dwelling makes, to thee my love shall never be denied.
