Journey

The Male Choir that i sing with, St. Pauls Male & Female Voice Choirs, singing Speed Your Journey, recorded 1990.

Speed Your Journey
Speed your journey, my thoughts and my longings,
Speed your journey to mountain and valley.
Where the sweet scented air breathes a fragrance
O'er the homes that we knew long ago.
To the waters of Jordan bear greeting.
To the down-fallen temples of Zion.
Oh, my country so fair and so wretched!
Oh remembrance of joy and of woe.
Golden harps of the prophets oh tell me,
Why so silent ye hang from the willow
Once again sing the songs of our homeland
Sing again of the days that are past.
We have drunk from the cup of affliction
And have shed bitter tears of repentance
Oh inspire us, Jehovah, with courage
So that we may endure to the last
So that we may endure to the last
May endure to the last.
