| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Yom Kippur | | By Gustav Gottheil |
| | | TO Thee we give ourselves today, | |
| Forgetful of the world outside; | |
| We tarry in Thy House, O Lord, | |
| From eventide to eventide. | |
| |
| From Thy all-seeing, righteous eye | 5 |
| Our deepest heart can nothing hide; | |
| It crieth up to Thee for peace | |
| From eventide to eventide. | |
| |
| Who could endure, should’st Thou, O Lord, | |
| As we deserve, forever chide? | 10 |
| We therefore seek Thy pardoning grace | |
| From eventide to eventide. | |
| |
| O may we lay to heart how swift | |
| The years of life do onward glide; | |
| So learn to live that we may see | 15 |
| Thy light at our life’s eventide. | | | | |
