“The Wall”

Long since days, from ages ago

ingather to His staid Makom flock

among whom dost Thou dwell

Ha Shem likvod Yisborach.

L’ Adon Ha Kol l’sha-be-ach

To whom our knees do bend

tear stained, prayerful kvitelach

To Him we devotedly send.

Open thine hearts kedoshim

to His avodah, tahor and pure,

gather at His feet molochim

beware lest  thine doubts doth stir.

Whence this devotion unfailing?

ere stones stand thou demure

open thine lips heaven upward

thy portion in shamayim secure.

 
Hear please our supplications,

of which uttered none profane …

wherefore our faith sustaineth

memories of  pious refrain.
