Lyrics:
Creator of all things, ruler of Israel,
We are Your people, and You are our God.
Teach us to follow, obey Your commandments,
Sh'ma Yis-ra-el,
A-do-nai E-lo-hei-nu,
A-do-nai E-chad.
Your glorious kingdom abounds in the heavens,
Your majesty rules all over the earth.
We are your teachers, and You are our Creator,
Sh'ma Yis-ra-el,
A-do-nai E-lo-hei-nu,
A-do-nai E-chad.
I sing unto God to my Lord I sing praise,
And from moment to moment beyond.
I sing Hal-le-lu -- Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu-yah,
Singin' Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu-------yah.
(Hal-le-lu-yah!)
***BACK TO THE BEGINNING
ENDING:
Sh'ma Yis-ra-el,
A-do-nai E-lo-hei-nu,
A-do-nai E-chad.
