| | | MY people, my people! Arise, O bleeding East, | |
| Arise in the Westlands, you fools that blindly feast! | |
| The nations call again | |
| For faith, for deeds, for men, | |
| Yet we that rise | 5 |
| When Israel cries | |
| Are less than one in ten. | |
| |
| My brothers, my brothers! O wand’ring aimless horde, | |
| A clarion from Zion is speaking for the Lord! | |
| The thund’ring heavens command: | 10 |
| “Arise a mighty band; | |
| With heart and voice | |
| Make now the choice, | |
| And straightly seek your land.” | |
| |
| My heroes, my heroes, whose hearts and lives are free, | 15 |
| Arise and be counted that all the world may see! | |
| Those ancient fields reclaim | |
| Whence Israel’s splendor came, | |
| And win and hold | |
| Our land of old | 20 |
| To consecrate her name. | | | | |
