I was glad lyrics
by Henry Purcell
I was glad when they said unto me: We will go into the house of the Lord
Our feet shall stand in thy gates: O Jerusalem
Jerusalem is built as a city: that is at unity in itself
For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord: to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord
For there is the seat of judgement: even the seat of the house of David
O pray for the peace of Jеrusalem: they shall prosper that lovе thee
Peace be within thy walls: and plenteousness within thy palaces
For my brethren and companions' sakes: I will wish thee prosperity
