Verse 1
Prayer O pilgrim
Prayer O lonely traveler
The echo of just men;
Strangers and exiles on the earth
Follow the footprints,
Go where the witnesses have gone
Your God is before you --
El-Shama; He hears you.
Verse 2
Prayer in weakness,
Prayer when flesh and friends may fail
When misery bends you,
And groaning becomes your melody
Remember the garden,
Where your savior travailed in agony
Your God is before you --
El-Sali; He bears you.
Verse 3
Prayer in waiting,
Prayer when heaven holds your rain
In weeping and watching
The sorrow of harvest that delays
Hope is an anchor;
Wait for the laughter of the Lord
Your God is before you --
El-Nacham; He soothes you.
Verse 4
Prayer in battle,
Prayer when raiders lie in wait
If hell should encamp you,
If legions connive to do you harm,
The Lord is your fortress;
No weapon against you shall prevail
Your God is before you --
El-Ma'oz; He hides you.
Verse 5
Prayer in victory,
Prayer when all the answers come
When chariot and rider,
Are drowned in the triumph of your God
Praise Him in earnest
Forsake not the one who did you good
Your God is before you --
Eliezer; He helps you.
Verse 6:
Prayer O pilgrim
Prayer O feeble mortal man
The journey before you
Is taking you paths you've never walked
So tarry in prayer;
Quench not the voice that bids you come
Your God is before you --
El-Qara; He calls you.
