Remember the Mountain

Remember the mountain
ancient and bright
and the pillar of fire
that once broke the night

Look up my children
be strong and brave
Surrender your hope
from a dark mangled grave

It is I who sustains you
with my fortune of light
Can you not see me
right here in your plight ?

For lo I am with you
til the end of the age
in a new morn dawning
from my words on a page

Listen my children
and hear my cry
once more on a Shofar
that comes by and by

Out of Egypt I called you
for freedom most fair
yet you take me for granted
getting lost in the air

Come quickly my children
and open your ears
It is I who has made them
so long heed the years

Look up! Look up!
your work is not done
Hear my Israel,
your God is one
