Yotzer Or

A setting of selected lines from the morning blessing for creation from the Hebrew liturgy. I especially love the image of G!d opening the windows of the day.

listen to this song

יוצר אור ובורא חשך עשה שלום ובורא את הכל
האל הפותח בצל יום דלתות שערי מזרח ובוקע חלוני רקיע
מוציא חמה ממקומה ולבנה ממכון שבתה
המאיר לארץ ולדרים עליה ברחמים ובטובו מחדש בכל יום תמיד מעשה בראשית

Yotzer or uvorei choshech, oseh shalom uvorei et hakol
Ha'el hapoteiach b'chol yom daltot sha'arei mizrach, uvokei'a chalonei raki'a
Motzi chamah mim'komah, ulevanah mim'chon shivtah
Hame'ir la'aretz v'ladarim aleha b'rachamim, u'v'tuvo m'chadesh b'chol yom tamid ma'aseh vereishit


Who fashions light and creates darkness
Maker of peace and creator of all
The G!d who opens each day the doors and gates of the East
And bursts open the windows of the firmament
Who brings forth the Sun from its place
And the Moon from its seat of rest
Who brings light to the Earth and its inhabitants with compassion
And in goodness perpetually renews each day the work of Creation
