Oh, the fire burns, while the hours turn and the embers glow;

And the rabbi teaches all the little ones what they need to know; (2x)

See now, little ones, remember, little ones, don't forget now, please!

Say it once and say it over once again, all your ABCs;

The olive trees that stand in silence, upon the hills of time;

To hear the voices of the city as bells of evening chime;

The shofar sounding from the temple to call the world to prayer;

A shepherd pauses in the valley and peace is everywhere;

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, forever young, forever old;

My heart will sing your songs of glory, Jerusalem (last 3 parts 2x)

Jerusalem
