Sir Hubert Parry's I was glad, sung by the Choir of St Paul's Cathedral, London.

The words are from Psalm 122 vv 1-3, 6, 7

I was glad when they said unto me: we will go unto the house of the Lord
Our feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is built as a city: that is at unity in itself.
O pray for the peace of Jerusalem : they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls : and plenteousness within thy palaces.
