Rosh Hashana Chant

Sons of Adam, daughters of Eve
          a joyous new year to you.
Creation's celebrants who believe
          a joyous new year to you
A bounty of earth's fruits we eat
          a joyous new year to you.
Hoping that our year will be sweet
          a joyous new year to you
Into the water cast bread or stones
          a joyous new year to you
Symbolic act for sin atones
          a joyous new year to you
Regrets behind, we look instead
          a joyous new year to you
L'shana tova - a good year ahead
          a joyous new year to you.
A joyous new  year to all.
