Nishmas

By Florence Weisberg


THE BREATH of ev’ry living thing,
O Lord, shall bless Thy Name;
The spirit of all flesh on earth
Thy glory shall proclaim.

For Thou art God for evermore,	5
Beside Thee we have none;
No king, nor saviour who redeems,
Save Thou! Almighty One!

Thou settest free, and bring’st us aid
In times of grief or woe;	10
With mercies great and manifold;
No King but Thee we know!
