"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee" (Psalm 122:6). "Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart.... The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, he will joy over thee with singing" (Zephaniah 3:14-17).
The day is fast approaching when
Jerusalem shall be restored,
For Christ is coming back again,
To reign and rest there as her Lord.
Jerusalem shall soon increase
With peace which only can exist
When Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace,
Shall rule at last within her midst.
The Child born in Bethlehem
Who purchased peace with His own life,
Shall rule within Jerusalem
With peace that puts away all strife.
Jerusalem shall see the joy
That prompts the Prince of Peace to sing,
And all the earth shall then employ
Their hymns of praise to Christ our King.
O Lord, with eyes of faith we see
The blessing of that coming day
Wherein Jerusalem shall be
Your throne of peace for which we pray.
