[Opening Call] Awake, awake, Deborah. Rise, Barak, and lead. The roads lie empty, The villages bleed. A mother in Israel Has risen to speak; The Lord calls the willing, The strong and the weak. [Verse 1] Sisera trusted nine hundred iron cars, Twenty years crushing beneath Canaan's wars. Deborah summoned Barak from Naphtali's height: "Draw ten thousand to Tabor and fight." He would not go unless she came too; She answered with courage, yet honor would move Into a woman's hand before evening was through. [Chorus] Rise, Deborah, sing of the day When stars in their courses joined in the fray. Kishon swept chariots, horses beat vain; The proud iron wheels sank deep in the rain. Rise, Deborah, let the willing be praised; When leaders took courage, the tribes were raised. [Verse 2] Sisera fled to the tent of Jael, Milk in a vessel, a covering fell. Sleep took the captain who terrorized land; A tent peg ended the strength of his hand. Barak arrived, and the enemy lay Dead in the refuge he sought in that day. [Final Song] So let all Thine enemies perish, O Lord; Let those who love Him rise bright as the sun. The land rested forty years after the sword; Deborah sang when the battle was done.
