Jerusalem Old City Jewish Square guitar singer - Hebrew near Hurva Synagogue

Singer/guitarist in Hurva Square, Old City Jerusalem

I taped this man singing a Hebrew song in the Jewish Quarter square near Hurva Synagogue. Monday night, Nov. 4, 2013 on our way to the Kotel (Western Wall). Steve Martin, Love For His People

Thank you Hadassah Lerner for sharing the name of the song and the lyrics. Here it is:

It is 'Adon Olam' (Eternal Master) Here's the translation:

The Lord of the Universe who reigned
before anything was created.
When all was made by his will
He was acknowledged as King.

And when all shall end
He still all alone shall reign.
He was, He is,
and He shall be in glory.

And He is one, and there's no other,
to compare or join Him.
Without beginning, without end
and to Him belongs diminion and power.

And He is my G-d, my living G-d.
to Him I flee in time of grief,
and He is my miracle and my refuge,
who answers the day I shall call.

To Him I commit my spirit,
in the time of sleep and awakening,
even if my spirit leaves,
G-d is with me, I shall not fear.
