(Words Having Holiness)
May His great name
Be mighty and holy
In the world
His will has made.
May this be with speed,
And in a near time.
Amen.

May His kingdom
Come to be
In your life, your days,
And in the life
Of the House of Israel:
May this be with speed,
And in a near time.
Amen.

May His great name be blessed
For ever, for ever.
Blessed, praised, made glorious;
Extolled, heightened, and honored,
Made mighty and lifted up—
Be the name of the Holy and One,
Whom we bless;
Even though He is high
Above all blessings and hymns,
Extollings and comfortings:
All that are uttered
In the world.
And, say ye,
Amen.

May peace come from on high,
Opulently;
And life for us,
And for all Israel.
And say ye,
Amen.

May He who makes peace
In His high places,
Make peace for us,
And for all Israel.
And say ye,
Amen.
