Song of Joy Lyrics

Ant: Rejoice always in the Lord, let your heart be filled with joy, for the Lord is near.

1. From my heart I rejoiced on hearing them proclaim, Let us go to the House of God.

2. For our feet are now set within your courts of peace, Jerusalem, within your gates.

3. O Jerusalem, built as city should be built, That is one in fellowship and love.

4. For the tribes of the Lord hold meeting in your courts, And all Israel gives thanks to God.

5. It is there that the thrones of judgment have been set, There justice reigns for Israel.

6. For the peace of Jerusalem pray to the Lord, May all who love her dwell at ease.

7. May peace reign in your walls, and in your ramparts peace. And prosperity within your home

8. For the sake of my friends and relatives I say: God’s peace is still my prayer for you.

9. For the love of the house of God, I say again, For your happiness I pray the lord.

10. To the father and Son, and to the Spirit sing; All praise and joy forever more.
