Bruce, The words supplied by our guest in the preceeding post, differ somewhat from the ones you sent me in the private message. Which one is the more accurate ?   What is amazing is that the lyrics to this song were not written by a Zionist or a Jew. They were written by Pat Boone who is an Evangelical "born again" Christian. As the old commercial said, "You do not have to be Jewish to love Levy's Rye Bread". (How many of you remember that ?) It looks like the same held true for Israel, in 1961 when the song was written.
