I
Come, let us go to greet the bride,
Come let us greet the Sabbath!
Come, let us go to greet the bride,
Come let us greet the Sabbath!
For God has commanded that we
should honour Sabbath ever in our hearts.
God is one, His sacred name is One,
And ours is to praise and to worship Him.
Come, let us go to greet the bride,
Come let us greet the Sabbath!
Come, let us go to greet the bride,
Come let us greet the Sabbath!
Come, let us greet the day of the lord,
it is the source of all good.
At the beginning of the world
It was made last, but is was there from the first.
Come, let us go to greet the bride,
Come let us greet the Sabbath!
Come, let us go to greet the bride,
Come let us greet the Sabbath!
II
The Lord of Host shall open the sky
And send us stormclouds from on high,
The stormclouds they shall bring us rain,
That we may drink and live again.
The stormclouds they shall bring us rain,
That we may drink and live again.
III
Grant me another month of peace,
My Lord, my light, my pain's surcease;
To all in my community,
Oh Lord, grant blissful liberty.
Grant me another month's delight
And build thy temple high and bright.
Scatter my foes among the winds,
That I may gather recompense. |
IV
My heart doth long for a young gazelle,
a young gazelle to be with me;
And I will sing a lovely song full of sweet melody.
Companions brought a young gazelle
all the way from Babylon.
Companions brought a young gazelle
all the way from Babylon.
Do not part me from my love!
My love came here to stay with me,
my soul is bright and free!
My love came here to stay with me,
my soul is bright and free!
Thou that madest all creation,
Thou that madest all I love:
O hear my prayer of supplication,
lifted to heav'n above.
O save me from my exile drear,
think of all thou promised me!
O save me from my exile drear,
think of all thou promised me!
Bannished people hear their love!
O lead them to the promised Land,
descend again to me.
O lead them to the promised Land,
descend again to me.
V

Come let us greet the Sabbath!

Come let us greet the Sabbath!

Come let us greet the Sabbath!
