[Verse 1:]
I stood within your gates, O Jerusalem
With joy I came, my heart at rest again
The city built up on your promise
A refuge upheld by God's right hand
[Chorus:]
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
May those who love you be secure
Peace be within your walls,
And safety in your doors
For the sake of brothers, friends, and kin
I pray again and again—
Peace be with you, Jerusalem
[Verse 2:]
For the house of the Lord our God is near
We lift our voices, cast away all fear
Within your courts, we seek your good
We pray for your peace as often as we should
[Chorus:]
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
May those who love you be secure
Peace be within your walls,
And safety in your doors
For the sake of brothers, friends, and kin
I pray again and again—
Peace be with you, Jerusalem
[Bridge:]
Through every trial, every storm
Still we will pray
For mercy flowing like a river
Day by day
O city of David, heart of the King
May Mashiach return to your gates
[Final Chorus:]
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
May those who love you be secure
Peace be within your walls,
And safety in your doors
For the sake of brothers, friends, and kin
I pray again and again—
Peace be with you, Jerusalem
Peace be with you… Jerusalem
