about

Based on Psalm 48
To Jerusalem

lyrics

To the City of God, who makes her strong,
filled with justice by God's hand
The daughters of Judea shall dance all night long,
for the law has spread throughout the Land

March around Zion, circle her about,
count her towers and her gates
We'll dance on her Holy Mount, Zion sing and shout!
Tell everyone come early, don't be late! / it's a date

In Your Holy Place, filled with compassion,
as in the days of yore / where our spirits always soar
Oh Almighty God, God of love and passion,
Your loving kindness now, forever more!

For all people and the place that you adore,
Your loving kindness now, forever more!

Hope you enjoy the English or Hebrew versions, and wish you well. Thanks for listening! ... more
