[Instrumental] [Verse] A copy of the letter to be promulgated as law in each and every province was published among all the peoples, so that the Jews might be prepared on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies. Couriers mounted on royal steeds sped forth in haste at the king’s order, and the decree was promulgated in the royal precinct of Susa. Mordecai left the king’s presence clothed in a royal robe of violet and of white cotton, with a large crown of gold and a mantle of fine crimson linen. The city of Susa shouted with joy, [Chorus] and for the Jews there was splendor and gladness, joy and triumph. [Instrumental] [Verse] In each and every province and in each and every city, wherever the king’s order arrived, there was merriment and joy, banqueting and feasting for the Jews. And many of the peoples of the land identified themselves as Jews, for fear of the Jews fell upon them. [Chorus] and for the Jews there was splendor and gladness, joy and triumph. [Instrumental] [Chorus] and for the Jews there was splendor and gladness, joy and triumph. [Instrumental] [End]
