O.2 May the God of Israel / Psalm 127

Chorus-1:
May the God of Israel join in one;
in joy and in sorrow, the Lord is your way.

Chorus-2:
Like olive branches around the table of the
Lord, so God’s children in the Church.

Blessed those who fear the Lord,
who seek his path,
For they shall find favour in his sight.

Blessed be the toil of hands,
they shall bear fruit;
In joy and in gladness shall you work.

With good fortune in your home shall you be blest;
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine.

Blessed shall your children be around your board;
Like strong olive branches shall they stand.

Blest indeed shall be the ones who serve the Lord;
For they shall prevail throughout their life.

May the Lord who dwells on high give joy to you;
And may he protect you all your life.

May the sight of many children delight your heart;
May God grant his peace to Israel.
