Ki Lo Na'eh
Ki Lo Na'eh ("For to Him it is fitting"), the Passover Seder hymn, in Hebrew to the traditional tune the Union Haggadah printed in 1923, in four parts of our own. Each verse praises Hashem as mighty, holy and strong in His kingship, and everyone answers: Yours, and Yours, Lord, is the kingdom, for to Him praise is fitting. The soprano sings the verses alone, as the print's solo, and everyone sings the chorus.

About Ki Lo Na'eh
Ki Lo Na'eh, "For to Him it is fitting", is a Passover Seder hymn. It was already sung in England before 1290: Jacob ben Judah of London wrote it into his book of Jewish law, dated 1287. The Union Haggadah prints it as a solo verse and chorus: one singer leads each verse, and everyone answers "Lecha ulecha", yours and yours. Our tune and words are read from the 1923 edition, a tone up, in D, with four parts of our own. It is sung in Hebrew, transliterated, for 2 to 4 singers: three verses praising God as mighty, holy and strong in His kingship. It is sung with the substituted name customary when singing outside prayer: Adoshem.
