1 Open your ears, O faithful people,
open your ears and hear God's Word.
Open your hearts, O royal priesthood,
God has come to you.

Refrain:
God has spoken to the people, hallelujah!
God has spoken words of wisdom, hallelujah!

Torah ora, Torah ora, hallelujah!
Torah ora, Torah ora, hallelujah!

2 They who have ears to hear the message,
they who have ears, now let them hear.
They who would learn the way of wisdom,
let them hear God's Word. [Refrain]
