| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Israel’s God | | By Lawrence Cohen |
| | | NO longer the children of Zion need weep; | |
| From Judea’s fair mountains, from over the deep, | |
| From hill top and valley the pæans are sung | |
| In every known language, our own holy tongue; | |
| Our cause is triumphant, our freedom is won, | 5 |
| “The God of our People, Our Lord, He is One.” | |
| |
| United the sound of Israel’s great host, | |
| Descendants of Judah now their proud boast; | |
| Ascending each hour in psalm and in praise, | |
| Their voices together in harmony raise. | 10 |
| The cry of our faith from out the dim past, | |
| From ages unknown, till mortal shall last, | |
| From birth, until Death says our course has been run, | |
| We continue to sing “Our God He is One.” | |
| |
| Oh! land of our fathers, in God’s chosen time, | 15 |
| May we speedily pray at thy sacred shrine, | |
| And upward to Heav’n, as on wings of a dove, | |
| Our reliance on Thee, Thy care, and Thy love, | |
| To gather Thy children, as sheep in a fold, | |
| To worship together in praise, as of old; | 20 |
| “Hear, O Israel,” we’ll sing then, as one mighty word. | |
| “He is One, is our God; He is One, is our Lord.” | | | | |
