Dance, maidens of Jerusalem,
Dance your round and sing,
And call the lads of Jerusalem
Around your pleasant ring.
Dance, maidens of Jerusalem,
Defying guns and drought.
Though foes surround Jerusalem,
Love can banish fear and doubt.
Dance, maidens of Jerusalem,
Bring down the holy fire,
That there may be another generation
Of those who love and aspire.
Dance, maidens of Jerusalem,
The moon is full tonight,
All the world will bathe in silvery beams,
And in Jerusalem's delight.
Dance, maidens of Jerusalem,
In beauty like the moon,
And may G-d comfort Jerusalem
Speedily, yea, soon.
