Al-Olam,
You are our eternal home.
Long before you gave birth to the earth,
And before the mountains were born,
Before you gave birth to the cosmos,
You have been.
From everlasting to everlasting,
You have been.
You will be.
When you speak the words,
Life,
Return to me,
The human turns back to dust.
The human becomes part of the earth from which they came.
You are everlasting.
A thousand years is like one day to you.
You are eternal.
We glide along through the tides of time,
So quickly gone,
Like a dream that fades at dawn,
Like glistening grass that springs up one day and withers the next.
Bright and green in spring,
And brown and withered in winter.
And yet you are eternal.
You are eternal.
Al-Olam,
Our eternal home.
Your compassion is eternal.
Your compassion is eternal.
Let the sunrise of your love end our dark night.
Let the sunrise of your love break through our clouded dawn again.
Let your light and love break through our clouds.
The life of a human is like a wave in the ocean.
From you we came,
And to you we will return.
From Al-Olam we came,
And to Al-Olam we will return.
From the Eternal One we came,
And to the Eternal One we will return.
So fill us with songs of joy.
Fill us with songs here and now.
Let us be present.
Replace our short years of trouble with decades of gladness.
Let our short time of pain be replaced with eternal joy.
Let us be present in the eternal now.
Al-Olam,
Let your eternal beauty rest upon us.
You are our forever home.
You are our eternal home.
Al-Olam,
You are our eternal home.
Our forever home.
Our forever home.
Al-Olam,
We are our eternal home.
