Lyrics:
Abraham, he was the father of the Jewish people
He left his home because G-d said to journey far away
Go to a land I'll show you and your people will be blessed

Abraham trusted God and left without delay so God said:
"I will make your people as many as the grains of sand
because you trusted in me and went to a new land.
Your children and your children's children they will lead the way
The Jewish people will survive forever and a day"

Many years have come and gone 
Yet we are much like Abraham
We follow in his footsteps as we put our trust in God
We are the children that were promised to him on that day
Hineinu, we are here and we will lead the way
