Brought of old.

May the tribes of those who worship and proclaim Him
Be uplifted as of yore,
When He pruneth, may He cut the straggling branches,
For to Him belong the sov'reignty and kingdom
Evermore.

May He lead us once again unto the mountain
Of His sanctuary's shrine,
There to glorify Him ever in His temple,
For our God will not forget His word, the holy
And divine.

At His name shall heaven and earth break forth in praises
With a joy that shall not cease,
And the woods shall shout and clap their hands in gladness,
For the Lord our God has visited His people,
Bringing peace.

From each band of angels mighty in their splendor,
From each shining, circling star,
Hymns and praises evermore declare His glory,
Saying, "Praise Him with the sound of joyful trumpets,
The Shophar!"

All the creatures of the universe together,
Heaven above and earth below,
Shall proclaim, "The Lord in all His works is mighty,
He is king o'er all the earth, and His salvation
All shall know."

Grace After Meals

Our Rock with loving care,
According to His word,
Bids all His bounty share,
Then let us bless the Lord.

His flock our Shepherd feeds
With graciousness divine,
He satisfies our needs
With gifts of bread and wine.
Therefore with one accord
We will His name adore,
Proclaiming evermore
None holy as the Lord.
Our Rock, etc.

The land desired so long,
Our fathers' heritage,
Inspires our grateful song
To God from age to age;
His bounteous gifts afford
Us sustenance each day,
His mercy is our stay,
For faithful is the Lord.
Our Rock, etc.

Oh! be Thy mercy moved,
Our Rock, to dwell with us,
With Zion, Thy beloved,
Our temple glorious.
May we, redeemed, restored,
Be led there every one,
By David's holy son,
The anointed of the Lord.
Our Rock, etc.

Thy city fill once more,
Thy temple-walls upraise,
There will we Thee adore
With joyful songs of praise,
Thee, merciful, adored,
We bless and sanctify,
With wine-cups filled up high,
By blessings of the Lord.
Our Rock, etc.
