Song of the Dew

Pizmon from the Prayer for Dew of the Musaph Service for the First Day of the Passover.—Sephardic Liturgy.

O RAIN, depart with blessings,

With blessings come, O dew;

For Mighty to Deliver,

Is He that sends the dew.

With psalm and song I’ll praise Him,

In rhythms like the dew;

My Rock, my Strong Deliv’rer,

He is, that sends the dew.

His Name with glory covers

His folk, as earth the dew;

A Prince to their deliv’rance

He sends, that sends the dew.

Hasten, O God, Thy promise—

“I will be Israel’s dew”—

And Mighty to Deliver,

Let fall this day Thy dew!
