Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Our people strewn across the lands, With sharpened crosses and books of lies, By sinful minds and brutal hands, They smote with hatred in their eyes, Our Jewish spirit beat so strong, Our children took to the streets with heart, Yet guns curtailed our Jewish Song, Their blades to rip our kin apart, But now we see a brighter day, And glories from a clearer sky, We'll see our brethren and we shall say, The Lords day now is truly nigh, For the Homeland! For the Homeland! In all we do and all we love, We aim for one uniting goal, Never again shall the tyrants' gloves, Brandish our bodies, sheathe our soul, For the Homeland! For the Homeland! In twenty three and fifty nine, We sent the Pntek back to the east, The Star of David was our sign, To claim our land and kill the beast, For the Homeland! For the Homeland!
Current:
| "Hatikvah" As long inside our hearts כֹּל עוֹד בַּלֵּבָב פְּנִימָה A Jewish soul still yearns, נֶפֶשׁ יְהוּדִי הוֹמִיָּה, And onward toward the East, וּלְפַאֲתֵי מִזְרָח קָדִימָה, Looking towards Tzion; עַיִן לְצִיּוֹן צוֹפִיָּה; We have not lost hope yet, עוֹד לֹא אָבְדָה תִּקְוָתֵנוּ, The hope is two thousand years old, הַתִּקְוָה בַּת שְׁנוֹת אַלְפַּיִם, To be a free people in our land, לִהְיוֹת עַם חָפְשִׁי בְּאַרְצֵנוּ, The land of Tzion and Yishelem אֶרֶץ צִיּוֹן וִירוּשָׁלַיִם |
Proposed:
| Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, O thou of God and man the son, Thee I will Cherish, Thee I will Honour, Thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown Fair are the meadows, Fairer still the woodlands, Robed in the blooming garb of Spring, Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, Who makes the woeful heart to sing Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moonlight, And all the twinkling starry host Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer, Than all the angels heaven can boast Beautiful Saviour! Lord of all the nations! Son of God and Son of Man, Glory and honour, Praise and adoration, Now and forever be thine! |
