ma'oz tzur (rock of ages)

Singer:marc cohn

rock of ages let our song

praise your saving power

thou amidst the raging foes

you were our sheltering tower

rock of ages let our song

praise thy saving power

thou amidst the raging foes

you were our sheltering tower

furious they assailed us

but thine arm availed us

and thy word broke their sword

when our own strength failed us

and your word broke their sword

when our own strength failed us

children of the wanderers

whether free or fettered

wake the echoes of the songs

where ye may be scattered

yours the message cheering

that the time is nearing

which will see all men free

and tyrants disappearing

(hope will see all men free

and tyrants disappearing)
