I rejoiced when I heard the people saying, 
D               A7           D    D7 
Lets go to the temple of the Lord,  
    G7                        C   E7  Am7 
And now at last our feet are standing,   
    A7      D      Em7 A7 D7 G          
Within your gates, O Jerusalem. 
  
G        Bm          Em   A7 
Jerusalem, O fairest City,  
            D        Em7  A7    D  D7 
so strongly built as one united whole, 
      G              G7         C     Cm 
It is there that the tribes now gather  
        G     Em7 A7 D7       G 
All the tribes to worship the Lord. 
 
G                   Bm       Em   A7 
For the peace of  Jerusalem, pray,  
        D     Em7      A7       D     D7 
Prosperity to all your dwelling places, 
             G          G7                C       Cm 
Let there be peace everywhere within your ramparts,  
             G   Em7     A7 D7  G 
Let there be safety within your towers.  
 
G             Bm             Em     A7 
For love of my people and my friends, 
           D           Em7     A7       D    D7  
This is my prayer: may lasting peace be yours, 
        G           G7           C     Cm 
For the sake of the house of the Lord,  
        G     Em7 A7   D7       G 
I shall plead and pray for your good.  
 
G               Bm               Em    A7 
To the Father almighty sing your praise 
           D      Em7   A7      D    D7 
and to the Son, redeemer of the world, 
       G          G7            C     Cm 
To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts 
     G   Em7     A7 D7  G 
both now and for ever, Amen
