lyrics

בְּמוֹצָאֵי מְנוּחָה
קִדַּמְנוּךָ תְּחִלָּה
הַט אָזְנְךָ מִמָּרוֹם
יוֹשֵׁב תְּהִלָּה
לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶל־הָרִנָּה
וְאֶל־הַתְּפִלָּה

אֶת־יְמִין עֹז עוֹרְרָה
לַעֲשׂוֹת חָיִל
בְּצֶדֶק נֶעֱקַד
וְנִשְׁחַט תְּמוּרוֹ אָיִל
גְּנוֹן נָא גִזְעוֹ
בְּזַעֲקָם בְּעוֹד לָיִל
לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶל־הָרִנָּה
וְאֶל־הַתְּפִלָּה

לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶל־הָרִנָּה
אֶל־הָרִנָּה וְאֶל־הַתְּפִלָּה

דְּרוֹשׁ־נָא דּוֹרְשֶׁיךָ
בְּדָרְשָׁם פָּנֶיךָ
הִדָּרֶשׁ לָמוֹ מִשְּׁמֵי מְעוֹנֶךָ
וּלְשַׁוְעַת חִנּוּנָם
אַל תַּעְלֵם אָזְנֶךָ
לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶל־הָרִנָּה
וְאֶל־הַתְּפִלָּה

לִשְׁמֹעַ

זוֹחֲלִים וְרוֹעֲדִים
מִיּוֹם בֹּאֶךָ
חָלִים כְּמַבְכִּירָה
מֵעֶבְרַת מַשָּׂאֶךָ
טִנּוּפָם מְחֵה נָא
וְיוֹדוּ פְּלָאֶיךָ
לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶל־הָרִנָּה
וְאֶל־הַתְּפִלָּה

לִשְׁמֹעַ

יוֹצֵר אַתָּה
לְכָל־יְצִיר נוֹצָר
כּוֹנַנְתָּ מֵאָז תֶּרֶף
לְחַלְּצָם מִמֵּצָר
לְחוֹנְנָם חִנָּם
מֵאוֹצָר הַמְּנֻצָּר
לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶל־הָרִנָּה
וְאֶל־הַתְּפִלָּה

לִשְׁמֹעַ

After the departure of the Sabbath
We approach You [in prayer]
Incline Your ear from on high
You Who are enthroned upon praises
Listen to the song
And to the prayer

Raise Your mighty, right hand
To act valiantly
For the righteous one, who was bound
and in whose stead a ram was slain
Shield his descendants
As they cry to You while it is yet night
Listen to the song
And to the prayer

Listen to the song
To the song and to the prayer

Turn to those who seek You
When they seek Your Presence
Be accessible to them
From Your Heavenly Abode
And to the cry of their supplication
Close not Your ear
Listen to the song
And to the prayer

Listen…

They tremble and quake
At the day of Your arrival
They are panic-struck
As a woman giving birth the first time
From the burning wrath You carry
O’ please, wipe away their filth
That they may praise Your wonders
Listen to the song
And to the prayer

Listen…

You are the Creator
Of all that is formed
You prepared from of old
A remedy to save them from distress
By bestowing undeserved grace upon them From Your hidden treasure
Listen to the song
And to the prayer

Listen…
