‫כֹּל הַ נּ ְָשׁמָ ה ְתּהַ לֵּ ל יָהּ‬

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

Adonai, open up my lips, that my mouth
may declare Your praise.

Who is like You, Adonai, among the mighty? Who is like You, Majestic in
holiness, Awesome in splendor, Maker of miracles? Your children beheld Your
majesty when the sea parted before Moses. “This is my God,” they responded in
song, “The Eternal shall reign forever and ever!” (Ex.15).

Let all Israel keep Shabbat, observing Shabbat for all generations as an everlasting
Covenant. It is between Me and Israel, a sign forever, that in six days the Eternal
One made the heavens and the earth; but on the seventh day, God rested and
breathed a new soul into the world. [Exodus 31:16-17]
OPEN
Words and Music by Judith Silver
Open my eyes to truth.
Open my hands to give freely.
Open my lips to good words, to pure words.
Open my heart to love.
Open, open…

My beloved is mine and I am his; he feeds among the lilies. Who is this coming up
from the desert, fragrant with myrrh and frankincense? Give me your heart, my
sister, my bride. Awake, O north wind, and come, you south wind. My beloved is
mine... (Song of Songs 2:16; 3:6; 4:9; 4:16)
