Hallelujah, New Jerusalem

O Zion
Such a bloody rugged cross you bear
Hine matov
A voice cries for a deafened world to hear
Your brother I will be O Israel
We both a common father share

HaTikvah
Anthem for a chosen few to sing
To you shalom
Forever may your bell of freedom ring
My soul cries out to you O Israel
Homeland I have never seen

Bridge

The sound of the shofar
Shall herald the new dawn
The end's just the beginning of the ages yet to come

Abraham
Your children have been numbered as the grains of sand
O holy land
Within your walls the mighty temple twice destroyed
Will soon forever stand
Babylon is fallen she will never rise again
In her place the sacred city
Hallelujah new Jerusalem
Hallelujah New Jerusalem
Hallelujah new Jerusalem
