R’ Kook zt”l wrote a poem which he wanted to be used as the Israeli national anthem. Unfortunately, it wasn’t chosen to be used, but there are still many religious Zionists who view it as the true anthem.

Eternally there lives in our hearts,
the steadfast faith
to return to our holy land,
the city where David
settled.
There we shall work our inheritance,
[which the] father of
many [nations] acquired,
there we shall live our life
the life of the
innumerable community.
There we shall serve our God
with joy,
happiness and song
there we shall pilgrimage
three times each year.
Torah of life is our desire,
given from heavenly mouth,
forever
it is our heritage,
A gift from the desert
