tage as though looking for lost lambs,
with torches held high.>
Both Leaders: You shall have torches bright,
Watching the folds by night,
Guarding the lambs aright,
Ten thousand years.

Men's Leader: King Solomon he asked the Queen of Sheba,
<The King kneels, and indicates the entire sky with one long slow
gesture.>
Bowing most politely:
"Why are the stars so high,

and gives the same gesture as she answers.>
Bowing most politely:
"They're singing of your kingdom to the angels,
They guide your chariot with their lamps and candles,
Therefore they burn so far--
So you can drive your car
Up where the prophets are,
Ten thousand years."

Men's Leader: King Solomon,
King Solomon.

Both Leaders: King Solomon he kept the Sabbath holy.
<The two stand, commanding the audience.>
And spoke with tongues in prophet words so mighty

Congregation Rises and Joins the Song:
.... "Glory."
We were his people.

<On these two lines, man and woman stamp and whirl again,
gravely, magnificently.>
Both Leaders: You shall be wild and gay,
Green trees shall deck your way,
<On these two lines they kneel, commanding the audience.>

Ten thousand years.

<Now they rise and bow to each other and the audience,
maintaining a certain intention of benediction.>
King Solomon,
King Solomon.

Asleep in rows by the Gaza gate.
But t
