Hebrew Prayer

O Lord our God we turn to Thee in hope as did our fathers.

May Thy mercy descend upon our people in all their habitations.

Extend thy protection and help unto our brothers who struggle

in lands of darkness as victims of oppression and persecution.

Fill the hearts of all men with a love of freedom and justice,

that tyranny may vanish and the reign of righteousness be established.

Grant us strength that with Thy help

we may bring a new light to shine upon Zion.

So that from Zion shall go forth the law

and the Word of God from Jerusalem.
