Israel, O Israel! (taken from Jeremiah 31:1-12)
Music for Choirs, Submitted Music
1. Israel, O Israel! I will write my law in your heart.
I shall be your God and you will be my people.
I have loved you with an everlasting love.
I will gather and keep you, as a shepherd keeps his flock,
And your soul shall be as a watered garden, a watered garden.
2. Israel, O Israel! I will write my law in your heart;
I shall be your God, and you will be my people.
I have loved you with an everlasting love.
3. The watchmen shall cry upon mount Ephraim:
“Arise and let us go up to Zion!”
Sing with gladness and hope, O Israel!
I have loved you with an everlasting love!
O Israel! Israel, O Israel!
4. I will gather and keep you, as a shepherd keeps his flock,
And your soul shall be as a watered garden, a garden!
I have loved you. Have loved you.
