Beloved, come to meet the bride; beloved, come to greet Shabbat.
“Keep” and “Remember”; a single command the Only God caused us to hear; The Eternal is One, God’s name is One; For fame, glory and praise are God’s.
Come with me to meet Shabbat, forever a fountain of blessing. Still it flows, as from the start: the last of days, for which the first was made.
Awake, awake, your light has come! Arise, shine, awake and sing: the Eternal’s glory dawns upon you.
Enter in peace, O crown of your husband; enter into gladness, enter in joy. Come to the people that keeps its faith. Enter O bride! Enter, O bride!
