SONGS FOR SHABBAT
These are the English songs I sing to welcome the Sabbath along with the traditional Hebrew versions.
(Click the
lyrics to hear the tunes.)
You are blessed, Lord
our
God (Lord our God),
King of the universe,
And you make the Sabbath holy.
While lighting the candles:
You are blessed, Lord our
God (Lord our God),
King of the universe,
You make us holy with your laws,
and you command us to kindle the
lights of the Sabbath.
Before drinking the wine:
You
are blessed, Lord our God (Lord our God),
King of the universe,
and the creator of the fruit of the
vine.
Before eating the bread:
You are
blessed, Lord our God (Lord our God),
King of the universe,
and you bring forth the bread from
the Earth.
