Classic song by Naomi Shemer
Perhaps the most beautiful song she wrote, it is a prayer for all that is simple and beautiful in life. Most importantly, it is a prayer for us to always return to The Good Land.

Over the honey and the thorn Over the bitter and the sweet Over our infant daughter Grant your protection, Good Lord Over the burning fires Over the clear waters Over the man who returns home From distant places Over all these, please grant Your protection, Good Lord Over the honey and over the thorn Over the bitter and over the sweet. Do not uproot that which has been planted Do not forget the great hope Bring me back and I shall return To the good Land Grant your protection, Good Lord, over this house Over the garden, over the wall. Protect us from grief, from sudden fear, And from war Guard over the little that I have Over the light and over the young ones Over the fruits that have not yet become ripe And over those that have already been harvested A tree whispers in the wind In the distance a star shoots My heart's requests in darkness Are inscribed now Please grant your protection for me on all of these things And on all that I love On the silence and on the tears And on this song |
