Israel

How much love
How much peace and how much faith
You gave us without thinking and without knowing...
That the pages of your history drew our redemption...
Israel

Because in you
Hope dawned
And in your arms the Messiah...
Was born.
From here I send you my gratitude and wish for your blessing...
Israel

A river of joy will flow...
From the countryside to the city... and will not return,
Never, the shadows of the past

The wolf and the lamb will play
And a child will lead them
And you will finally recognize...
The glory of your king

How much pain, and how much persecution
You have had to endure in the past
How much indifference and contempt you, people of God, have suffered
Israel.
Through exile and pain
You have shed so many tears for him...
From here my heart sings to you and my voice asks for forgiveness
Israel

A river of joy will flow...
From the countryside to the city... and will not return,
Never, the shadows of the past

And the wolf and the lamb will play
And a child will lead them
And you will finally recognize...
The glory of your king

If your evil, your punishment, and affliction
Turned out to be universal salvation
How much more will be your restoration
And your glory oh Israel... in the end

A river of joy will flow...
From the countryside to the city... and will not return,
Never, the shadows of the past

And the wolf and the lamb will play
And a child will lead them
And you will finally recognize...
The glory of your king.
