Israel is G-d's chosen land,
   Jerusalem - His holy city.
Yerushalyim - doubly sacred,
   One in Heaven - one on earth.

Yerushalem - complete and whole,
   Her Temple filled with love and peace.
Her presence felt, embracing all,
   G-d's Spirit, which will never cease.

Nations come, and conquerors go,
   wars directed to one place.
Evil spreading through the world,
   aimed against the Jewish race.

But we'll stand firm,
   Our Temple's there,
though the Mount, itself, is bare.
   We'll guard and save her,
through our faith,
   and she'll maintain Her loving care.

Rachel Klein

This is the national anthem of Israel, depicting the struggles, triumphs, and faithfulness of the Jewish people in the land that G-d gave to them, according to the Holy Scriptures.

Experience the holy land and visit Jerusalem, Israel. You will long to walk her ancient streets and pray where the walls cry out to heaven.
