Theodore Herzl

PEACE! no tear for him who sleepeth near.

No mourning word,

Splendid pæan rather and ringing cheer

Be heard!

Let his white bones know,

Let his soul discover

Its loving overflow

Of him his people’s lover

In our voices thunder,

In our labor’s glory!

Find in each tone asunder

His triumphant story—

Of his hope grown free,

Of his battles won,

Of Lion’s victory,

And Judah’s noonday sun.

Hosannah! thou that sleepest here,

Hosannah! thou that sleepest here!

Hosannah, leader ’gainst all fear!

Israel lives anew!
