He who guides His beloved people
Out from darkness and misery
Into the promised land
With His strong and mighty arms
With His wisdom beyond human understanding
O, Lover of mankind
Who reveals Yourself through Your beloved servants through the ages
Your amazing love and mercy
Is on what we shall cling on
Just like Moses who loved You so dearly
Thus like friend to friend did you conversed
Revealing the wishes of hearts
In defining moments and rough times
Aaron who faithfully served you till his last day on Mount Hor near Edom
For brave and trusting hearts of Hosea, later called Joshua ben Nun, and Caleb ben Jephunneh,
You are faithful Lord;
For they trusted You and see Your love in everything
They feared not, they walked by faith, which produced virtues in them.
They stood against all odd in trusting You,
Even if they were stoned.
Such a faith! Such love! Such courage!
Thus Lord,
Grant us to trust You and live by faith beyond sight.
Loving You above all else
And greeting all with love
For Yours are all things
Thus taking heed of Your commandments
And ardently keep watch,
So that even in the most seemingly hard time,
When experiences gives us two choices:
To be thankful even over having to pass through Desert of Sin or
To be frustrated over the what seems so barren,
We might choose to be thankful just because You who dwells among us...
Blessed are You O Lord, unto the ages of ages.
