ADON OLAM, by ISRAEL GOLLANCZ Poet's Biography First Line: Eternal lord, his praise I sing Last Line: God guarding me, I have no fear. Subject(s): God; Jews; Praise; Judaism | ||||||||
ETERNAL Lord, His praise I sing, Who reigned before the world was wrought; Creation's voice acclaimed Him King, Whose Word created all from nought. And when all things shall pass away, He will not pass, He still will reign, Alone, unchang'd, of sov'reign sway, He was, He is, He will remain. Yea, He is One, no second dares Compare with Him in wondrous might; None owns His strength; His throne none shares; Without beginning, infinite. My God, my living Saviour He; My Rock of Hope in sorrow's hour; I thirstmy cup He fills for me; He is my Beacon and my Tower. Whene'er I sleep, whene'er I wake, With Him I leave my soul so dear: His care may He my body make! God guarding me, I have no fear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD A LITTLE HISTORY by DAVID LEHMAN FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN JEWISH GRAVEYARDS, ITALY by PHILIP LEVINE NATIONAL THOUGHTS by YEHUDA AMICHAI SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 2.
