Let There Be Love/Hashkiveinu English lyrics by Noah Aronson

Let there be love And understanding among us Let peace and friendship be our shelter from life’s storm Hashkiveinu, Adonai Eloheinu Hashkiveinu, l’shalom הַשׁ�כִּיבֵנוּ ה' אֱ -הֵינוּ לְשׁ�לוֹם

Earth Song Words and music by Frank Ticheli

Sing, be, live, see. This dark stormy hour, The wind, it stirs. The scorched earth cries out in vain: O war and power, you blind and blur. The torn heart cries out in pain. But music and singing have been my refuge, And music and singing shall be my light. A light of song, shining strong: Alleluia! Through darkness and pain and strife, I’ll sing. I’ll be, live, see…Peace. Peace.

Looking back on the journey That we carry in our hearts; From the shadow of the mountain To the waters that would part; We are blessed and we are holy, We are children of your way. And the words that bring us meaning We will have the strength to say:
