Kenaniah of the Levites appointed by the king 
To teach the songs of Zion, to lead them as they sing 
Your song is not forgotten, we hear it in our souls 
Let it burn and burn within us 
And fan the sacred coals 

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, we will sing your ancient song 
Kenaniah, Kenaniah, we will sing it loud and strong 

Gathered for the battle, Kenaniah led the way 
As the singers closely followed him, they all began to pray 
The musicians all assembled, Kenaniah gave the word 
Through the raging battle zone, the anthem could be heard 

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, we will never let it die 
Kenaniah, Kenaniah, we must lift it to the sky 

Sing unto Jehovah of His wondrous ways 
Sing a song of triumph, sing a victory song 
And in the cloud of witnesses, Kenaniah sings along 

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, through the ages it will ring 
Kenaniah, Kenaniah, to Jehovah we will sing
