Because he died and is risen (Hévénu shalóm aléchem)
Hévénu shalóm aléchem,
1 Because he died and is risen,
because he died and is risen,
because he died and is risen,
we now have peace with God
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 His peace destroys walls between us,
his peace destroys walls between us,
his peace destroys walls between us,
for only he can reconcile
us both to God.
Hévénu...
3 'My peace I give you,' said Jesus;
'My peace I give you,' said Jesus;
'My peace I give you,' said Jesus;
'Don't let your heart be troubled,
do not be afraid.'
Hévénu...
4 The peace beyond understanding,
the peace beyond understanding,
the peace beyond understanding,
will guard the hearts and minds
of those who pray to him.
Hévénu... Hi!
