Sustain us, G‑d, until the time
When it will be revealed a helper and support
The lion of G‑d will rise like a cub
To bring us Your Redemption
To return our exiles to the Land
He descends from the children of Peretz
He is an anointed king
Strong and spiritual
He is coming and about to rise
His victory will soon be revealed
Strengthen us, G‑d, until his arrival
Until the redeemer will reveal his holy arm
So that we merit and will discuss
The birth pangs of Moshiach
The mighty have fallen silent
And we have been left as [His] nation
He will sustain us for two days
And on the third, we will find life
Shir HaGeulah: Hachayenu Kel
The powerful words of this nigun express our fervent prayer and hope of seeing the Redemption soon, and to be reunited with all of our people. The poem seems to have been written by the Frierdiker Rebbe in 1941. The melody was then composed by Yisroel Dovid Rosenberg, a yeshiva student of Tomchei Tmimim in Shanghai.
