My old companions say,
Come, in the house of God appear,
For 'tis an holy day.
2 Thither the tribes repair,
Where all are wont to meet,
And joyful in the house of prayer
Bend at the mercy-seat.
3 Pray for Jerusalem,
The city of our God;
The Lord from heaven be kind to them
That love the dear abode.
4 Within these walls may peace
And harmony be found;
Zion, in all thy palaces
Prosperity abound!
5 For friends and brethren dear,
Our prayers shall never cease;
Oft as they meet for worship here,
God send His people peace! Languages: English Tune Title: CAMBRIDGE
