SHEMA YISRAEL ADONAY-ELOHAINU ADONAY-ECHOD, by                    
First Line: Shema yisrael,' is the lesson we learn
Last Line: "shema yisrael!"
Subject(s): Israel; Jews; Youth; Judaism


"SHEMA YISRAEL," is the lesson we learn
In the earliest days of our youth.
"Adonay Elohainu," the Lord is our God,
How precious and blessed this truth!
"It never can fail;
Shema Yisrael!"

"Adonay Elohainu," this is our God
And ours forever shall be.
Through life he will bless us, in death be our guide
Till "Shalom"—"Peace eternal"—we see.
Through Him we prevail;
"Shema Yisrael!"

"Shema Yisrael!' 'tis our mission alone,
"Adonay Echod" to proclaim
The Lord everlasting shall reign o'er the earth
And "One" be forever His name.
The future we hail;
"Shema Yisrael!"
