Henry Purcell

I was glad when they said unto me:
We will go into the house of the Lord.
For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord:
to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
For there is the seat of judgement:
even the seat of the house of David.
O pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls:
and plenteousness within thy palaces.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.

Psalm 122:1; 4-7
