Come my brother, come my friend,
Let's meet the Sabbath bride, just round the bend
Come my lover, come my friend,
Welcome the Sabbath bride, in--joy without end

"Observe" and "recall" -- both in the same command
Of deity unique at Sinai after leaving Egypt land
God is one, and the Holy Name is one
In fame and in splendor – let the song be sung

Toward Sabbath Queen, together now let us go;
Source of all blessings, look around and see them flow
From the beginning, she was anointed long ago
From the very start, God planned to make her so (Come my brother…)

Temple of the King, city of royalty
Arise from your ruins, get out of your misery
You've spent too long, in the vale of tears
Now God's compassion, will wipe away all your fears

Rise from the dust, shake yourself clear and free
Dress you, my people, in your garments of majesty
By the hand of Jesse's son, from Bethlehem will come
My soul's redemption is at hand, listen for the drum (Come my brother…)

Rouse yourself, rouse yourself, and get going--come along
Wake yourself right up now, and let's hear you sing out your song
Your light so fine now arrives, so rise and shine
Upon you is revealed -- the glory of the Divine

Be not embarrassed, nor be you ashamed,
Why be downcast? Wherefore this sound of pain?
All my people's poor will shelter inside you
As the city is rebuilt, on its hill just like new (Come my brother…)





Those who ravaged you will disappear one day
They who despoiled you will be cast out far away
God will rejoice, together with you
As the groom and bride, become one from where they were two

In every field, you'll prosper and lead the way
And you will admire God, who said to rest on Sabbath Day
Descendent of Perez, you are the one who will
Lead us to rejoice and dance, see--we can't sit still

Come now in peace, holy crown upon a man
In happiness and joy – here now for you we all stand.
Amidst the faithful far and wide, our people's always cried:
Come now O Bride! Come now O Bride!

Come my brother, come my friend,
Let's meet the Sabbath bride, just round the bend!
Come in my lover, come in my friend,
Welcome Sabbath bride, and--joy without end!
