I was glad when I heard them say

1 I was glad when I heard them say,
'We are going to God's own house',
And at last our feet are standing
At the gates of the City of Peace.

2 It's a city where all are one
In a union that's secure,
And all God's people are moving
To the gates of the City of Peace.

3 We are coming to praise His Name
As he ordered His folk of old,
We'll stand at the place of justice
In the gates of the City of Peace.

4 We pray for the citizens' peace
And prosperity to you all,
Who now are joyfully entering
Through the gates of the City of Peace.

5 My friends and my brothers, I pray
That God's blessing be with you now
For He's at the heart of all things
When we live in the City of Peace.
