Come my Beloved
to greet the bride
The Sabbath presence
let us welcome!

'Safegaurd' and 'Remember'
both uttered as one
The One and Only God
made us hear
Hashem is one
and His Name is one
for renown, for splendor
and for praise

Come my Beloved ...

To welcome the Sabbath
come let us go
for it is the
source of blessing
from the beginning
from antiquity
she was honored
last in deed but
first in thought

Come my Beloved ...

O Sanctuary of the King
royal city
Arise and depart
from amid the upheaval
too long have you dwelled
in the valley of weeping
He will shower
compassion upon you

Come my Beloved ...

Shake off the dust arise!
Don your splendid clothes
My people
through the son of Jesse
the Bethlehemite!
Drew near to my soul
redeem it!
Wake up! Wake up!
For your light has come
rise up and shine
Awaken, awaken,
utter a song
The glory of Hashem
is revealed on you

Come my Beloved ...

Feel not ashamed
be not humiliated
Why are you downcast?
Why are you disconsolate?
In you will My people's
afflicted find shelter
As the City is built
upon its hilltop

Come my Beloved ...

May your oppressors
be downtrodden
And may those who
devoured you
be cast far off
Your God will rejoice
over you
Like a groom's rejoicing
over his bride

Come my Beloved ...

Rightward and leftward
you shall spread
out mightily
and you shall extol
the might of Hashem
through the man
descended from Peretz
Then we shall be
glad and mirthful

Come my Beloved ...

Enter in peace
O crown of her husband
Even in joyous song
and good cheer
Among the faithful
of the treasured nation
Enter, O bride!
Enter, O bride!

Come my Beloved ...
