The year has reached its highest height,
The hall congests its late at night,
A stimulating joy in 770.

The world around them disappears,
Chassidim soar to other spheres,
The Rebbe leads Hakofos with vitality.

But as the night proceeds the Rebbe sits to rest
Shocking one and all,
“The Rebbe’s Nisht Gezunt,” the rising spirits fall.

Confusion and distress
To bear the frightful notion all hearts wish to deny
Indeed it’s Simchas Torah, yet who can help but cry.

That night The Rebbe made it clear,
Tonight again as every year,
The dancing and the singing will continue.

Hearing what the Rebbe said,
We cast aside all fear and dread,
A hopeful chant "Der Rebbe Iz Gezunt!"

A mere few weeks pass by
Joy and jubilation beyond all expectation
Der Rebbe Fort Aheim Shoin, a Yom Tov in creation.

No different now as then
The moment seems long lasting
But let us not despair,
Keep the march on forward a Yom Tov’s very near.
