Prayer Melodies
The prayers are music. Here are some of the melodies.
Avinu ['Our Father,' Yeshua's prayer from Matthew 6:19-13]
This is sung in all three prayer times. When the Amidah is prayed, it is sung immediately before Oseh Shalom (see Oseh Shalom below). For Ma'ariv without Amidah, sing this and Oseh Shalom right after the Hashkivenu prayer ("Lay us down to sleep").
Our Father Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
Lead us not into temptation,
Deliver us from all evil.
Lead us not into temptation,
Deliver us from all evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom
and the power and the glory,
Forever and ever. Amen.
In the Name of Yeshua our Righteousness.
Forever and ever. Amen.
In the Name of Yeshua our Righteousness.

Oseh Shalom [Make Peace]
Sung either during the Amidah in the Petition for Peace or at the end of the Kaddish, immediately before the words:
He Who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace upon us and upon all Israel, now respond: Amein.
Oseh shalom bim'romav
Hu ya'aseh shalom aleinu
V'al kol Yisrael, v'imru Amein.
(2x)
Y'aseh shalom, ya'aseh shalom
Shalom aleinu
V'al kol Yisra'el
(6x)

Eshet Chayil (Proverbs 31:10-31)
(sung to one's wife on Erev Shabbat)
Eshet chayil mi yimtza v’rachok mip’ninim michrah
Batach bah lev ba’lah v’shalal lo yechsar
G’malathu tov v’lo ra kol y’mei chayeiha
Darshah tzemer ufishtim vata’as b’chefetz kapeiha
Haitah ko’oniyot socher mimerchak tavi lachmah
Vatakom b’od lailah vatiten teref l’vetah v’chok l’na’aroteiha
Zam’mah sadeh vatikachehu mip’ri chapeiha nat’ah karem
Chagrah v’oz motneiha vat’ametz zro’oteiha
Ta’amah ki tov sachrah lo yichbeh balailah nerah
Yadeha shilchah vakishor v’chapeiha tamchu felech
Kapah parsah le’ani v’yadeiha shil’chah la’evyon
Lo tira l’vetah mishaleg ki chol betah lavush shanim
Marvadim astah lah shesh v’argaman l’vushah
Noda bash’arim ba’lah b’shivto im ziknei aretz
Sadin astah vatimkor vachagor natnah lak’na’ani
Oz v’hadar l’vushah vatischak l’yom acharon
Piha patchah v’chochma v’torat chesed al l’shonah
Tzofi’ah halichot betah v’lechem atzlut lo tochel
Kamu vaneha vay’ash’ruha ba’lah vay’hal’lah
Rabot banot asu chayil v’at alit al kulanah
Sheker hachen v’hevel hayofi ishah yir’at HaShem hi tit’halal
T’nu lah mip’ri yadeiha vihal’luha vash’arim ma’aseha.
