Lyrics Marc Cohn – Ma’oz Tzur (Rock Of Ages)
Text:
Rock of ages let our song
Praise your saving power
Thou amidst the raging foes
You were our sheltering tower
(Our sheltering tower)
Rock of ages let our song
Praise thy saving power
Thou amidst the raging foes
You were our sheltering tower
(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)
