Jerusalem of Gold

The olive trees that stand in silence, Upon the hills of time The shepherd pauses in the valley, And bells of evening chime The shofar sounding from the temple, To call the world to prayer, The shepherd pauses in the valley, And peace is everywhere Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Forever young, forever old, My heart will sing your songs of glory, Jerusalem Yerushalayim shel zahav, V'shell n'choset v'shel or Halo l'chol shir ayich... Ani Kinor The water well for those who thirsted, The ancient market square Your golden sun that lights the future, For all men everywhere How many songs how many stories, The stony hills recall Around her heart my city carries, A lonely ancient wall Yerushalayim shel zahav, V'shell n'choset v'shel or Halo l'chol shir ayich... Ani Kinor And far away beyond the desert, A thousand suns will glow We will be going to the dead sea, By way of Jericho My simple voice can not acclaim thee, Too weak the words I choose, Jerusalem if I forget thee, May my right hand its cunning lose! Yerushalayim shel zahav, V'shell n'choset v'shel or Halo l'chol shir ayich... Ani Kinor Yerushalayim shel zahav, V'shell n'choset v'shel or Halo l'chol shir ayich... Ani Kinor (More Hebrew) Blessed are you, God Keeper of your word Keeper of your people Keeper of your city Jerusalem
