Hebrew Lyrics

Shomer Sharay Yisrael
Shemor Sherit Y'israel
Baruch Ata Adonai Ha Shem
Shemor Sherit Yisrael

Guardian of the Gates of Israel
Guard what remains of Israel
For there may come a time when I cannot stand
For the Land I Love

Guardian of the Gates of Israel
PRotect what remains of Israel
The Kings of the Earth they never see
A nation God called Glory

Far beyond Eden
Life became hard
I dream of the Gates of Israel
A Golden Rose, Jerusalem
Dream of the Gates of Israel

And if some day I sleep on and on
And all but my love for Zion is gone
May all of Jerusalem, Jeshurun run
To the Gate
The Eastern Gate
And watch for Messiah from on High
Promised he'd return
Guardian of the Gates of Israel
Guard what remains of Israel
Protect what remains of Israel
Save what remains of Israel

Repeat Hebrew verse
