Nehemiah 8
Seventh month, Rolls around
Israel’s settlers, Gathered together
Water Gate, Square filled
Ezra brings, Moses’ Law
People’s ears, Were attentive
Ezra stood, Upon platform
Six men, Seven men
He between, Law reading
He opened, People stood
Ezra blessed, The Lord
Great God, “Amen, amen.”
Hands lifted, Faces bowed
The Levites, Helped them
People wept, With understanding
“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.”
Understanding led, To rejoicing
Festival observed, Booths built
First time, Captivity refugees
Observe since, Nun’s Jeshua
Like this, All together
And with, Great joy
Obedience leads, To rejoicing
Eighth day, Solemn assembly
