DANIEL BEN JUDAH
YIGDAL
Praise to You, Living God,
All praised be Your name,
Who was, and is, and is to be,
For aye the same.
The one eternal God,
Ere ought that now appears:
The First, the Last, beyond all thought
Your timeless years.
Formless, all lovely forms
Declare Your loveliness;
Holy, all holiness of earth
Does Yours express.
Lo, You are God of all!
Creation speaks Your praise
And everywhere above, below,
Your will obeys.
Your spirit now flows free,
High surging where it will:
In prophet’s word You spoke of old,—
And You speak still.
Established is Your law,
And changeless it shall stand,
Deep writ upon the human heart
On sea or land.
Eternal life You have
Implanted in the soul;
Your love shall be our strength and stay
While ages roll.
Praise be to You, O God!
All praised be Your name,
Who was, and is, and is to be
For aye the same!
