[Opening]

יֵרָאֶה אֶל־עֲבָדֶיךָ פָעֳלֶךָ
וַהֲדָרְךָ עַל־בְּנֵיהֶם¹

*Yera'eh el avadecha fa'alecha, vahadarcha al b'neihem.*

[May Your work be seen by Your servants, and Your splendor by their children.]

וִיהִי נֹעַם ה׳ אֱלֹקֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ
וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹ-נְ-נָה עָלֵינוּ
וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹ-נְ-נֵהוּ¹

*Vihi no'am Hashem Elokeinu aleinu, u'ma'aseh yadeinu kon'nah aleinu, u'ma'aseh yadeinu kon'neihu.*

[May the favor of Hashem our God be upon us; establish for us the work of our hands; establish the work of our hands.]

[Verse 1]

Some are called to heal the broken
Some are called to teach and guide

Some are called to guard their neighbors
Through the darkness of the night

Some are called to lift the fallen
Some are called to feed the poor

Every act of quiet kindness
Leaves the world a little more

[Refrain]

וִיהִי נֹעַם ה׳ אֱלֹקֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ
וִיהִי נֹעַם ה׳ אֱלֹקֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ¹

*Vihi no'am Hashem Elokeinu aleinu, vihi no'am Hashem Elokeinu aleinu.*

[May the favor of Hashem our God be upon us.]

[Verse 2]

Some are called to build a family
Raise a generation strong

Passing faith and passing values
So the story carries on

Every lesson every blessing
Every prayer and every song

Becomes a gift for tomorrow
Long after we are gone

[Refrain]

וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹ-נְ-נָה עָלֵינוּ
וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹ-נְ-נָה עָלֵינוּ¹

*U'ma'aseh yadeinu kon'nah aleinu, u'ma'aseh yadeinu kon'nah aleinu.*

[Establish for us the work of our hands.]

[Verse 3]

Some are called to build communities
Some to strengthen sacred space

Some are called to lead by example
Some through wisdom some through grace

No one carries every mission
No one walks every road

But every soul receives a calling
And a purpose of its own

[Bridge]

Some will save a life in moments
Some will shape a life through years

Some will lift a heart from sorrow
Some will calm another’s fears

Some will carry hope to others
With a word or helping hand

Some will leave the world far better
Than the day on which they began

[Refrain]

וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹ-נְ-נֵהוּ
וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹ-נְ-נֵהוּ¹

*U'ma'aseh yadeinu kon'neihu, u'ma'aseh yadeinu kon'neihu.*

[Establish the work of our hands.]

[Final Chorus]

יֵרָאֶה אֶל־עֲבָדֶיךָ פָעֳלֶךָ
וַהֲדָרְךָ עַל־בְּנֵיהֶם¹

*Yera'eh el avadecha fa'alecha, vahadarcha al b'neihem.*

[May Your work be seen by Your servants, and Your splendor by their children.]

וִיהִי נֹעַם ה׳ אֱלֹקֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ
וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָה עָלֵינוּ¹

*Vihi no'am Hashem Elokeinu aleinu, u'ma'aseh yadeinu kon'nah aleinu.*

[May the favor of Hashem our God be upon us; establish for us the work of our hands.]

וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹ-נְ-נֵהוּ¹

*U'ma'aseh yadeinu kon'neihu.*

[Establish the work of our hands.]

יֵרָאֶה אֶל־עֲבָדֶיךָ פָעֳלֶךָ
וַהֲדָרְךָ עַל־בְּנֵיהֶם¹

*Yera'eh el avadecha fa'alecha, vahadarcha al b'neihem.*

[May Your work be seen by Your servants, and Your splendor by their children.]

[Outro]

The work of our hands
The work of our hands

May it live beyond our years
May it bless the ones who follow

May it quiet someone’s fears
The work of our hands

The work of our hands

וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹ-נְ-נֵהוּ
וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹ-נְ-נֵהוּ¹

*U'ma'aseh yadeinu kon'neihu, u'ma'aseh yadeinu kon'neihu.*

[Establish the work of our hands.]
