  When Thou didst descend upon Sinai's mountain, It trembled and shook 'neath Thy mighty hand, And the rocks were moved by Thy power and splendor; How then can my spirit before Thee stand On the day when darkness o'erspread the heavens, And the sun was hidden at Thy command? The angels of God for Thy great name's worship, Are ranged before Thee, a shining band, And the children of men are waiting ever Thy mercies unnumbered as grains of sand; The law they received from the mouth of Thy glory, They learn and consider and understand. Oh! accept Thou their song and rejoice in their gladness, Who proclaim Thy glory in every land. Jehuda Halevi. |
