EN 1746 My Heart Was Glad to Hear the Welcome Sound

Ps.122.1

Versi Version 1

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.
