Come, My Beloved
Come, my beloved, to meet the bride
The presence of Shabbat let us welcome
Guard and remember in one utterance
Heard us, the unique one
The Lord is one and His name is one
For the sake of glory and praise
Come, my beloved...
To meet Shabbat, come let us go
For she is the source of blessing
From the beginning, a foretaste
The end from the start in thought
Come, my beloved...
Sanctuary of the King, city of royalty
Arise, go out from the midst of the turmoil
Greatly praised, sitting in the valley of tears
And He will have compassion on you, have mercy
Come, my beloved...
Shake off the dust, arise
Clothe yourself in your adornments, my people
By the hand of the son of Jesse, the Bethlehemite
Approach my soul's redemption
Come, my beloved...
Awaken, awaken
For your light has come, arise
Awaken, awaken, sing and speak
The glory of the Lord revealed upon you
Come, my beloved...
Do not be ashamed, do not be humiliated
Why are you downcast and troubled?
In the shadow of His wing, my poor people
And you will be rebuilt, city on a hill
Come, my beloved...
And it shall be for a crown of beauty
And a diadem in the hand of your God
Rejoice over you, your God
Like a groom rejoices over a bride
Come, my beloved...
Right and left you will be adorned
And by the Lord you will delight
By the hand of the son of Peretz
And we will rejoice and be glad
Come, my beloved...
Come in peace, O crown of your husband
Also in joy and in gladness
Among the faithful of the chosen people
Come, bride, come, bride
Come, my beloved...
