"Hallelujah" was the host country entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979 in Jerusalem, performed by Milk & Honey.
It won the Contest with 123 points, giving the country its second victory as well as its second in a row. However, the next Contest would not be hosted by the winning country as they would withdraw due to financial reasons.
The song was performed by Gali Atari at the 2019 Contest in Tel Aviv to mark 40 years since its win. She was joined onstage by winners Conchita Wurst and Måns Zelmerlöw and runners-up Eleni Foureira and Verka Serduchka.

Hallelujah to the world
Hallelujah, everyone will sing
With one single word the heart is filled with much gratitude
And it also pounds: what a wonderful world
Hallelujah with the song
Hallelujah for a day that shines
Hallelujah for all that has been
And all that is yet to come, Hallelujah
Hallelujah to the world
Hallelujah, everyone will sing
And the great bells will echo with many sounds
And with us they will say Hallelujah
Hallelujah with the song
Hallelujah for a day that shines
Hallelujah for all that has been
And all that is yet to come, Hallelujah
Hallelujah for everything
Praise tomorrow and yesterday
Hallelujah and hold each other’s hands
And sing from one heart, Hallelujah
Hallelujah with the song
Hallelujah for a day that shines
Hallelujah for all that has been
And all that is yet to come, Hallelujah
Hallelujah for all that has been
