NISHMAS, by                    
First Line: The breath of ev'ry living thing
Last Line: No king but thee we know!
Subject(s): Faith; God; Jews; Belief; Creed; Judaism


THE breath of ev'ry living thing,
O Lord, shall bless Thy Name;
The spirit of all flesh on earth
Thy glory shall proclaim.

For Thou art God for evermore,
Beside Thee we have none;
No king, nor saviour who redeems,
Save Thou! Almighty One!

Thou settest free, and bring'st us aid
In times of grief or woe;
With mercies great and manifold;
No King but Thee we know!
