Lyrics:
Master of all things ruler of Israel
We are your people and You are our God
Teach us to follow, Obey your commandments
Shema Yisrael
Adonai Eloheynu Adonai Echad
Your glorious kingdom abounds in the heaven
Your majesty rules all over the earth
We are your teachers, You our creator
Shema Yisrael
Adonai Elohienu Adonai Echad
I sing unto God to my Lord I sing praise
From moment to moment beyond
I sing Hallelu Hallelu Halleluyah
Singing Hallelu Hallelu Halleluyah
