| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Sing unto God a New Song | | By Eugene Kohn |
| | | SING unto God a new song, sing no more | |
| These melodies of melancholic strain | |
| That mourn the vanished glory that did reign | |
| O’er Zion in the golden days of yore. | |
| Wherefore forever weep, fore’er deplore | 5 |
| Our loss? Vain are our tears, our prayer is vain | |
| Would we our ancient heritage regain, | |
| Then must our song on faith’s own pinions soar. | |
| Sing then to God a joyous song, | |
| Yea, sing Redemption’s sun new-risen in the East, | 10 |
| A song of triumph till the echoes ring | |
| Back from the ample heaven’s azure dome; | |
| For yet shall we, from evil’s chains released, | |
| Zion, to thee return, our hallowed home. | | | | |
