I remember from my days of listening to entertainment in the Borscht Belt of the Castkill Mountains and Lakewood, N.J. that there were words composed to the theme from the movie "Exodus". I remember only the first line "This Land Is Mine, God Gave This Land To Me". Does anyone on this forum know all the lyrics ? SOL ZELLER

Sol,

I just sent the words to you by message. They are likely on the site, but you'll need someone smarter than me to tell you how to find them.

Yup, they are in the DT. Put Exodus in the Lyric and knowledge search box up on the right. Or search DT Lyrics under E.

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.

FWIW - I learned a slightly different version back in the 60's when I sang this.

...morning sun
Reveals her hills and plains;
then I see...

and the format was slightly different - repeating the
And though I'm just a man.. bits
