Shalom for Jerusalem lyrics
Psalm 122:6

Verse 1
O Maker of the ages,
whose throne is high above,
Tune every heart to worship You
in mercy and in love.
We stand within her ancient gates—O
city of our God—
And lift our voices heavenward,
proclaiming Your strong rod.

Chorus
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,
her safety and her grace;
May those who love her find their rest
within her holy place.
Let shalom dwell within her walls,
security abide,
For the sake of brethren, companions—
her joy will be multiplied.

Shalom for Jerusalem
Verse 2
May justice flow like rivers through
each winding street and lane,
And may her sons and daughters
walk in righteousness again.
Guard her towers and her borders,
shield her with Your hand,
Bring unity among her children—
make her a blessing to the land.

Bridge
For the house of the Lord our God,
we seek her lasting good;
In every heart and every home,
may kindness be renewed.
O Guardian of the nations,
let Your favor rest above—
Give peace, O give true peace to Jerusalem
with mercy and with love.

Final Chorus
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem—
today and evermore;
Her peace will be our peace, O Lord,
on every distant shore.
May shalom rest upon her—
security and grace—
For the sake of the house of our God,
we worship face to face.
