Almighty God We have sinned before thee. One among us Committed foul murder Profaned Thy great name And besmirched ours. Pardon us, forgive us, Grant us atonement. One among us Gunned down helpless people As they prayed to Thee By a different name. Our hands have shed this blood Our eyes have seen it One of us spilled it Dark is the blot Which stains all of us Great is our shame. Pardon us, forgive us, Grant us atonement. May our kind deeds In years to come Ease our guilt. He who makes peace in His heights May he bring peace to us And to all of Israel And to Hebron, too And let us say Amen.
