Seventh Revised Edition

PREFACE
This collection of songs has been prepared for use in Jewish
religious schools and was designed to meet a most pressing need.
Those who have had anything to do with Jewish School music
have no doubt experienced the difficulties and handicaps under
which the mvsic teacher labors because of the lack of a suitable
hand book of son^ texts that should meet the requirements of
the average religious School and that could, by virtue of its low
cost, be placed into the hands of every pupil in the school.
That the existing *^ Hymnals" do not meet this requirement all
will agree. By the very nature of their contents, character and
cost they are unpractical and undesirable as school text books.
The modern Eeligious School desiring to avail itself of the great
storehouse of Jewish songs (Hebrew, Yiddish and English),
jfinds the existing publications wholly inadequate and incomplete.
In order, therefore, to facilitate the work of the music
teacher and in order to create a wider, more complete and more
comprehensive music curriculum for the Jewish Eeligious School,
the ' ' Jewish Songster ' ' has been prepared. It contains special
songs for the various festivals, and general songs for general
purposes, in the Hebrew, Yiddish and English languages. For
the benefit of those children who are as yet unable to read
Hebrew, transliterations have been prepared.
The editors who have had wide experience in the field of
Jewish School music have used their best judgment in the selec-
tion of these songs, and they hope that the ''Jewish Songster"
will be hailed as a welcome guest in every Jewish Religious
School in the country, and will, in each school prove to be a
stimulous and an aid in developing an '^esprit de corps."
The Editors.
PREFACE TO THE FIFTH REVISED EDITION
That the ''Jewish Songster/' as originally published in 1918,
filled a great need, is evidenced by the fact that thirty thousand
copies have found their way into religious schools and homes
throughout the country.
The booklet which at first was only in the nature of an ex-
periment, proved beyond a doubt the need of a comprehensive
hand-book of Jewish school and folk-song texts that would meet
with the requirements of the modern Hebrew School. Further-
more, the strides that Jewish education in America has made
during the past few years and the new awakening that has swept
over the Jewry of the world since the close of the great war,
turned our attention to the inestimable educational, social, and
spiritual values of Jewish school and folk music, and brought
forth a wealth of new material that very rapidly became popular
among lovers of Jewish music.
In order to meet this new situation, and to make this new
material accessible to the hundreds of reHgious schools in Amer-
ica, the editors have revised the old "Jewish Songster" so that
in its present edition it practically assumes a new form.
The Songster as now constituted is divided into two parts.
Part I. consists of "Festival Songs'' in Hebrew, (liturgic and
secular) English and Yiddish. Part 11. consists of "General
Songs." A vast amount of new material was selected with great
care and a number of new festival groups were added.
The editors acknowledge their indebtedness to Mr. Abraham
I. Kalb, Music Director of The Central Jewish Institute, and
the Harlem Hebrew Institute, for his valuable assistance in
the selection of the new material, as well as to Mr. S. Gins-
berg, of the Text Book Department, Bureau of Jewish Educa-
tion, for technical advice.
In sending forth this new edition we feel that we are instru-
mental in spreading the optimism, good cheer, and happiness that
these Jewish Songs are sure to bring into many Jewish homes.

ROCK OF AGES
Roek of AgesV let our song
Praise Thy saving power;
Thou amidst the raging foes,
Wast our sheltering tower.
Furious they assailed us,
But Thine arm availed us,
And Thy word
Broke their sword
When our own strength failed us.
Kindling new the holy lamps,
Priests approved in suffering
Purified the nation ^s shrine,
Brought to God their offering.
And His courts surrounding,
Hear, in joy- abounding
Happy throngs
Singing songs
With a mighty sounding.
Children of the Martyr-race,
AYhether free or fettered,
Wake the echoes of the songs
Where ye may be scattered.
Yours the message cheering
That the time is nearing
Which will see
All men free.
Tyrants disappearing.

I will praise, O Lord, Thy grace,

Thou'rt in storms my sheltering place,

He will never fail me !
2.
Ever when I sighed in night.
When the world repelled me,
God led me again to light,
And His hand upheld me.
Darkness oft set round me,
Darkness oft set round me,
He was nigh, from on higii,
And His mercy found me.
3.
With my army God did side.
We, the few and humble,
Checked the Syrian's furious tide,
Made the mighty stumble.
Heroes young and hoary
Heroes young and hoary
Spilt their blood, for their God,
Giving Him the glory.

MARCHING SONG OF THE JUDEANS
Nina Salaman
1.
Zion, our Mother, calling to thy sons,
We are coming, we are coming to thine aid.
Spread among the nations, we thy loving ones,
We are ready, we are coming, unafraid.
2.
All along the ages thou wast lying waste,
We were waiting, we were looking to the goal.
Thou wast always calling, calling us to haste;
We were hoping and we heard thee in our soul.
3.
Other men have found thee but a stony height;
It is we can bring the blessing to thy soil —
Only we, thy children, precious in thy sight —
We shall prove thee, we shall save thee by our toil.
4.
Zion, our Mother, now thy sons depart;
We are coming while thou watchest there alone.
Heart amid the nations, beating with our heart,
We are ready, we are coming — we, thine own.
A HOME IN PALESTINE
1.
Oh little birds you fly so far !
Your homes are far apart
And don't you know where I would go
If I could follow my heart! {Repeat 3 and 4)
2.
Oh little stars, you shine so bright!
Both here and there you shine :
And I like you have twin homes too.
And one's in Palestine. (Repeat 7 and 8)

A WICKED, WICKED MAN
1.
Oh, once there was a wicked man
And Haman was his name, Sir
He would have murdered all the Jews
Tho they were not to blame, Sir.
Chorus
Oil, today we'll merry, merry be
Oh, today we'll merry, merry be
Oh, today we'll merry, merry be
And ''nash" some Homentashen..
2.
And Esther was the lovely queen
Of king Ahasuerus
When Haman said he'd kill us all
Oh my, how he did scare us.
3.
But Mordecai her cousin bold
Said ''What a dreadful chutzpa
If guns were but invented now
This Haman I would shoot, Sir.
{Chorus)
{Chorus)
When Esther speaking to the King
Of Haman's plot made mention
Ha, Ha, said he. Oh no he won't !
I'll spoil his bad intention. {Chorus)
5.
The guest of honor he shall be
This clever Mr. Smarty
And high above us he shall swing
At a little hanging party. {Chorus)
6.
Of all his cruel and unkind ways
This little joke did cure him
And don't forget we owe him thanks
For this jolly feast of PURIM. {Chorus)

PALESTINE SCOUT SONG
Translated from the Hebrew by Dr. Alexander M. Dushkin
On hill, in vale, let each his fellow hail,
Hurrah, hurrah, resounding,
We shout, we sing, we let our voices ring,
New life, new hope, abounding.
Oppression is dead, the black cloud has fled,
Our joy fills all creation;
Our faith is supreme, fulfilled is our dream,
Our dream of land and nation.
OH STRENGTHEN!
Translated from the Hebrew by Dr. Alexander M. Dushkin
1.
Oh strengthen the hands of our comrades, rebuilding
The Land of our Fathers with the sweat of their brow
Toiling courageous for the dream of the ages
Shoulder to shoulder for Israel now-
2.
Behold with the tears of our past shall be mingled
The sweat of your brow, and the blood of your heart
Poured without measure, we'll guard as our treasure
Set in the Shrine of the Nation apart.

PALESTINE, MY PALESTINE
Translated from the Hebrew by Rufus Learsi
1.
O hallowed land of mighty deed,
Palestine, my Palestine;
That heroes oft from tyrants freed,
Palestine, my Palestine;
Where fought the Maccabaean breed.
Where great Bar Kochba's heart did bleed,
Prepare to greet thy Chosen Seed,
Palestine, my Palestine!
2.
Your skies gaze down in purest blue,
Palestine, my Palestine;
And bathe your peaks in brilliant hue,
Palestine, my Palestine;
Your dancing waves bring tidings true,
Your cedars tall the tale renew;
Your children come again to you,
Palestine, my Palestine!
3.
O land where David reared his throne
Palestine, my Palestine;
Where first the seed of Truth was sown
Palestine, my Palestine;
O land where the Glory of God has shone
Resume the role you once have known I
Prepare to welcome back your own,
Palestine, my Palestine!

BAR KOCHBA
Jessie E. Sampter
"Son of a Star" they called you,
That fell in darkest days !
Bar Kochba, our hero,
Not you could hear our praise.
With broken sword you perished,
In ruins crushed and black:
Bar Kochba, Bar Kochba,
To-day we call you back !
The battle is unfinished
Where once you fought with odds.
And dared to challenge mighty Rome,
Her emperor and her gods.
Then where was Israel's Guardian
Who slumbers not nor sleeps?
Above the grappling peoples
His patient watch he keeps.
And the battle shall be finished
Where once you fought in vain,
And the star that fell in ruins
Shall rise and shine again,
"Despair not, my people,"
Bar Kochba seems to say,
"I fought two thousand years ago,
And victory comes to-day."

S. S. Grossman
Once, on Sinai, best of nations
Took the Torch in faithful hand;
Lo! The Light of generations
Brightly burns in every land !
By th' eternal glow united
Exiled spirits homeward stream;
Ancient hopes anew are lighted.
And old sorrows with a dream.
Refrain
Children of one God, one nation ;
One in love for Israel;
Jewish Youths' Association
Bear the light, and guard it well.
One in joy, in tribulation.
Joined in one to hope, to do;
Jewish Youths' Association
We are Loyal, we are true !
Jewish Youths' Association
We are Loyal, we are true !
2.
Light by which we read our sorrow — '
Glory gone, and deep despair ;
Light by which we dream Tomorrow
Grows than yesterday more fair.
Fathers of our ancient nation
Gave us thee to love, to know;
Light of joy, of consolation.
Flood our shadows with thy glow !
Refrain

HE JEWISH SONGS
WITH SACRED JOY
1
With sacred joy we greet the season
That Ufts our thoughts to Sinai's height
And Hst with reverence deep the message
ReveaHng man the way of Hght.
And Israel vowing on that day
To do, to hear what God shall say.
2
And Thou, O God, who changest never,
Wilt not our offering now disdain,
But help our soul's self-dedication
And keep it from becoming vain,
O strengthen Thou our wavering will
Our holy mission to fulfill.

SONG FOR SIMHAS TORAH
Translated from the Hebrew by Israel Zangwill.
The Angels came a-mustering,
A-mustering, a-mustering,
The Angels came a-clustering
Around the sapphire throne.
A-questioning of one another,
Of one another, of one ahother,
A-questioning each one his brother
Around the sapphire throne.
Pray, who is he, and where is he.
And where is he, and where is he,
Whose shining casts — so fair is he —
A shadow on the throne ?
Pray, who has up to heaven come,
To heaven come, to heaven come,
Through all the circles seven come,
To fetch the Torah down?
'Tis Moses up to heaven come,
To heaven come, to heaven come,
Through all the circles seven come,
To fetch the Torah down!

Adapted from Frug. by S. S. Grossman

Simchas Torah, skip and. hop.
Dance around until you drop
On your lips a merry jest
And a burden in your breast
Simchas Torah, Simchas Torah, skip and hop.
Though the year be sad and drear
Here's a da,y for joy and cheer
Sinchas Torah ! On this day
Come be merry, come be gay !
Simchas Torah, Simchas Torah, skip and hop.
Children form a happy band
Onward march ! unto your land
Forward march ! with glee and joy,
Every Jewish girl and boy !
Simchas Torah, Simchas Torah, skip and hop.

HE JEWISH SON
COME O SABBATH DAY
Rabbi Gustav Gottheil
1.
Come, O Sabbath day and bring
Peace and healing on thy wing;
And to every troubled breast:
Speak of the divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, thou shalt rest.
2.
Earthly longings bid retire
Quench the passion's hurtful fire.
To the wayward sin oppressed,
Bring thou the divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, thou shalt rest.
3.
Wipe from ev'ry cheek the tear
Banish care and silence fear.
All things working for the best
Teach us the divine behest:
Thou shalt rest, thou shalt rest.

2. "What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last
gleaming ?
3. Yv^'hose broad stripes and bright stars, thro* the perilous
fight
4. O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly
streaming.
5. And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
). Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
f. Oh ! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
8. 'er the land of the free and the home of the brave !
(Last verse)
9. Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
10. Between their loved home and the war 's desolation ;
11. . Blessed with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued
land,
12. Praise the power that hath made and preserved us
a nation.
13. Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
14. And this be our motto: ^^In God is our trust";
15. And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
16. 'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

PREFACP^ TO PART II
With the pubHcation of the Jewish Songster, Part II,
the compilers feel that they have succeeded in placing
before the public the most complete collection of Jewish
School, and Folk Songs ever published in America.
The selection of these songs was not made at random
but is the result of careful scrutiny and the experimenta-
tion of a number of experienced teachers of Jewish school
music, during the last decade.
This volume which is the supplement to the Jewish
Songster Part I contains a wealth of material not only for
the Jewish school but also for Clubs, camps, rallies and
general Jewish gatherings. It contains songs both sacred
and secular for the child and the adult, it contains some of
the best and most popular Yiddish P\)lk Songs, as well as
Songs of Palestine, Old and New.
The compilers wish to acknowledge their indebtedness
to Messers S. Maximon, Abraham I. Kalb and B. A.
Rabinowitz for their valuable suggestions and assistance
rendered in the compilation of this volume.
We hope that this collection of songs will be favorably
received and that it will wake the echoes of Israel's ancient
Song and stir the heart-strings of the modern Jew giving
him spiritual joy and aesthetic pleasure.

ONWARD
{Version of ''Kodimoh'")
Translated from the Hebrew by Dr. Alexander M. Dushkin
Onward, onward, brothers we're marching
For the land of Israel fearless we strive,
I :Let not doubt nor danger
Enemy nor stranger
Keep us now from marching onward,
Onward, on, on!:|
La-la-la-la

He-li, He-lo! Brothers we are marching on
Onward, onward, on!
LONGING FOR JERUSALEM
Jehuda Halevi
O City of the World,
With sacred splendor blest,
My spirit yearns for thee
From out the far-off West.
A stream of love wells forth
When I recall thy day.
Now is thy Temple waste,
Thy glory passed away.
Had I an eagle's wings
Straight would I fly to thee,
Moisten thy holy dust
With wet cheeks streaming free.
91
THE JEWISH SONGSTER
Oh, how I long for thee!
Although thy King has gone,
Although where balm once flowed,
The serpent dwells alone.
Could I but kiss thy dust,
So would I fain expire,
As sweet as honey then
My longing, my desire.
THE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL
James Montgomery
Daughter of Zion, from the dust
Exalt thy fallen head ;
Again in thy Redeemer trust.
He calls thee from the dead.
Awake, awake, put on thy strength,
Thy beautiful array;
The day of freedom dawns at length,
The Lord's appointed day.
Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge
And send thy heralds forth ;
Say to the South, — ''Give up thy charge,
And keep not back, O North!'-
They come, they come; — thine exiled bands,
Where'er they rest or roam.
Have heard thy voice in distant lands.
And hasten to their home.

A SONG OF ZION
Carroll Ryan
We are coming, coming, coming! Fling our banner to the
breeze !
In thousands we are coming from beyond remotest seas,
We are coming after centuries of sorrow and of toil
To make our home in Palestine and tread its holy vsoil.
O let the song of gladness rise; let all the nations hear
The anthem of a mighty host of Zion drawing near.
Across the mountains, through the vales, and o'er the
ocean's foam,
Behold the hosts of Israel are coming, coming home!
'Twas said of old by one whose lips were touched by
Heaven's fire,
That God's own house wouid be built up, than hills and
mountains higher;
That from its portals would go forth to all the world the
word,
That we may learn His way, and walk in truth before the
Lord.
That sword and spear would broken be and turned to
arts of peace ;
That all the instruments of war and strife fore'er would
cease ;
That nation shall not lift up sword 'gainst nation, as of
yore,
But listen to the voice of God and learn of war no more>
93
THE JEWISH SONGSTER
O, Children of the Covenant, perhaps the day is near,
E'en now, if you will listen, you may hear the accents clear
Of One who calls the scattered brood — come to Me! child-
ren, come!
My hills are vacant. Here I am. I bid ye welcome
home!
Then answer — we are coming! Fling our banner to the
breeze!
In thousands we are coming from beyond remotest seas.
We are coming after centuries of sorrow and of toil.
To make our home in Palestine and tread its holy soil.
SONG OF THE WANDERER
Marion J. Watson
Lift the banner, O my people,
Of your ancient hope again ;
March in concord to your homeland
To the beats of Zion*s strain.
Enough of moans, moans, moans;
Enough of groans, groans, groans;
^ Enough of creeping and of weeping
On the exile's graveyard stones.
Sing the song of Israel's glory
To the top of Zion's height,
Where the springs of joy are bubbling
From the darkness into light.
Enough of fears, fears, fears;
Enough of tears, tears, tears;
Enough of paling and bewailing
In the wilderness of years.
94
THE JEWISH SONGSTER
See the slaves their bands are breaking
In the black caves of the past!
Hear free Israel's proud rejoicing
On his sunny hills at last !
Enough of chains, chains, chains;
Enough of pains, pains, pains;
Now only singing, only ringing,
Loud and clear old Zion's strains.
THE LAND OF OUR FATHERS' DELIGHT
{Version of ^^PohB'eretz")
Translated from the Hebrew by Dr. Alexander M. Dushkin
In the Land of our Fathers* Delight
Shall come true all the dreams of the Night:
There to live and there create
A Home of Beauty, Freedom's State.
There the Homeless Spirit shall rest,
There the tongue of the Torah be blest
CHORUS
Plow your plow, plow, plow,
Sing ye now, now, now,
Gladsome joy, joy, joy.
Seed is sprouting o'er the land.
Plow your plow, plow, plow,
Sing ye now, now, now,
Gladsome joy, joy, joy,
Golden grain there yet shall stand.

YEMENITE SONG
{Version of '' Eshaloh Elohim'")
Translated from the Hebrew by Dr. Alexander M. Dushkin
Swaying and praying
Exiles to our land return,
Swaying and praying
Exiles to our land return,
From East and West and North and South
Lead us Thou our Father forth,
God of Israel.
Swinging and singing
Into our land we come,
Swinging and singing
Into our land we come,
Hearts aglow, our voices ringing.
First fruits of our labors bringing,
Land of Israel.
HOMELESS
Jessie E. Sampter
O, Mother, in the street to-day
I saw an old, old man;
His eyes were sad; I stopped my play,
And to his side I ran ;
Upon his back a heavy sack;
His beard was white, his eyes were black.
96
THE JEWISH SONGSTER
I touched this traveler's staff; I said:
''What have you in your bag?"
He did not smile; he shook his head:
''My people's load I drag;
The staff of faith is in my hand ;
My son, I seek the Holy Land."
"And who is King," I wondering said,
"And rules the land you seek?"
The old man smiled and shook his head ;
"His name I dare not speak —
But there my sack and staff shall fall,
And ril grow young and straight and tall."
With age he trembled as he spoke,
And said: "I shall not die."
Though worn and ragged was his cloak,
He said: "A prince am I,
My son, this wonder you will see,"
He said, "for you'll be there with me."
AT THE DAWN I SEEK THEE
At the dawn I seek Thee,
Refuge, Rock subHme;
Set my prayer before Thee in the morning.
And my prayer at eventime
I before Thy greatness
Stand and am afraid ;
All my secret thoughts Thine eye beholdeth
Deep within my bosom laid.
97
THE J E W "^I S H SONGSTER
And, withal, what is it
Heart and tongue can do?
What is this my strength, and what is even
This, the spirit in me, too?
But, indeed, man's singing
May seem good to Thee;
So I praise Thee, singing, while there dwelleth
Yet the breath of God in me.
FATHER, TO THEE WE LOOK
Father, to Thee we look in all our sorrow,
Thou art the fountain whence our healing flows.
Dark though the night, joy cometh with the morrow
Safely they rest who on Thy love repose.
When fond hopes fail and skies are dark before us,
When the vain cares that vex our lives increase,
Comes with its calm the thought that Thou art o*er us,
And we grow quiet, folded in Thy peace.
Patient, O heart, though heavy be thy sorrows!
Be not cast down, disquieted in vain;
Yet shalt thou praise Him when these darkened furrows.
Where now He plougheth, wave with golden grain.
GOD IS IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE
God is in His holy temple,
Earthly thoughts, be silent now,
While with reverence we assemble,
And before His presence bow,
98
THE JEWISH SONGSTER
He is with us, now and ever,
When we call upon His name.
Aiding every good endeavor,
Guiding every upward aim.
God is in His holy Temple,
In the pure and holy mind;
In the reverent heart and simple;
In the soul from sense refined:
Banish then each base emotion.
Lift us up, O Lord, to Thee;
Let our souls in pure devotion
Temples for Thy worship be.
GOD, I WILL EXTOL THEE
God I will extol Thee now
Lord my God, I cried to Thee
Thou Oh Lord hast lifted me
Forever hast Thou healed me.
2
Weeping stays but for a night
Morning brings the joyous song
For a moment were the tears
Ne'er Thine anger lingers long.
3
Hear, Oh Lord, be gracious now
Gird me now with Godly grace
Sackcloth bands are loosened now
Gifts to Thee we humbly place.
99
THE JEWISH SONG S T E R
LET THERE BE LIGHT!
Isidore Myers
{Before lighting the Chanukah Candles)
With fervor and joy we give thanks to the Lord,
And glory and praise to His name we accord,
While we greet with great gladness this glorious night,
And piously kindle each Chanukah light.
To God who is One, and whose Name is but One
We'll ever feel grateful, for what He has done
When all our race was as dark as the night
|:Said the Guardian of Israel, ''Let there be light. '':|
MY TREE
Jessie E. Sampter
(For Chamishoh Osor)
I have no garden by my house,
Nor yet a little yard,
But all around
Above the ground
The stones are cold and hard.
And yet I plant a little tree
Within my garden plot,
And it shall grow —
''B 'chamishoh
Osor Bishvat."
lOQ
THE JEWISH SONGSTER
I always move from place to place,
I've even crossed the sea,
But in a spot
That changes not
I plant my little tree.
And ever growing, ever green.
Twill shade what house is mine;
In that dear land
My tree shall stand —
In blessed Palestine.
IN SHU-SHAN LONG AGO
{A jolly Purim Song)
I
Oh Haman was a High and mighty bluflf
In Shu Shu Shushan long ago
He ordered Mordecai to take his derby off
In Shu, Shu, Shushan long ago.
CHORUS
So we sing, so we sing
So we sing and raise a row
For Haman he was swinging,
While Mordecai was singing
In Shu, Shu, Shushan long ago.
2
But Mordecai sat and laughed in his face
In Shu Shu Shushan long ago.
So Haman swore he'ed exterminate his race
In Shu, Shu, Shushan long ago.
(Chorus)
THE JEWISH SONGSTER
3
Oh Esther was a timid little maid
In Shu, Shu, Shushan long ago
But Mordecai told her she needn't be afraid
In Shu, Shu, Shushan long ago.
{Chorus)
4
So she went to the King and she gave him a smile
In Shu, Shu, Shushan long ago
The King he liked her manner and her style
In Shu, Shu, Shushan long ago.
^Chorus)
5
Ahasuerus was a jolly little king
In Shu, Shu, Shushan long ago
He ordered Haman to take a little swing
In Shu, Shu, Shushan long ago.
{Chorus)
