The Bride Shabbat/L’cha Dodi

Music based on “Erie Canal”; English Lyrics (loosely translated from the Hebrew) by David Rothberg

L’cha dodi likrat kallah. Get ready for the bride Shabbat!
P’nei Shabbat n’kabelah. Let’s all welcome the bride Shabbat!

Remember and keep her! That’s what we heard!
Get ready for the bride Shabbat!
God said two things with just one word
Let’s all welcome the bride Shabbat!

L’cha dodi likrat kallah. Get ready for the bride Shabbat!
P’nei Shabbat n’kabelah— Let’s all welcome the bride Shabbat!

God thought of her before creation. Get ready for the bride Shabbat!
So we could have a holy celebration. Let’s all welcome the bride Shabbat!

L’cha dodi likrat kallah. Get ready for the bride Shabbat!
P’nei Shabbat n’kabelah— Let’s all welcome the bride Shabbat!

Wake up! Wake up! There’s a brand new light! Get ready for the bride Shabbat!
I see it in your faces, it’s shining bright! Let’s all welcome the bride Shabbat!

L’cha dodi likrat kallah. Get ready for the bride Shabbat!
P’nei Shabbat n’kabelah— Let’s all welcome the bride Shabbat!

She gives us lots of Jewish pride. Get ready for the bride Shabbat!
Come in peace, Oh Shabbat bride. Let’s all welcome the bride Shabbat!

L’cha dodi likrat kallah. Get ready for the bride Shabbat!
P’nei Shabbat n’kabelah— Let’s all welcome the bride Shabbat!
