O sleeper, whose heart is awake
Burning and raging
Now wake and go forth
And walk in the light of my presence
Rise and ride on!
A star has come forth for you
And he who has lain in the pit
Will go up to the top of Sinai
Let them not exult, those who say
'Zion is desolate!' -
For my heart is in Zion
And my eyes are there
I reveal myself and I conceal myself
Now I rage, now I consent -
But who has more compassion
Than I have for my children
Burning and raging
Now wake and go forth
And walk in the light of my presence
Rise and ride on!
A star has come forth for you
And he who has lain in the pit
Will go up to the top of Sinai
Let them not exult, those who say
'Zion is desolate!' -
For my heart is in Zion
And my eyes are there
I reveal myself and I conceal myself
Now I rage, now I consent -
But who has more compassion
Than I have for my children
