A deep, golden love
A royal chain of lineage
A king bestows upon his son
A beautiful gift
Ripples of excitement
Pulse through the child
A diamond of high value
Lies in his hands
He promises to protect it
A treasure forever
Emblazoned in his soul
A beloved nation
To a Father of compassion
For I am sick with love
Hashem called upon Moshe and said
“I have a good present in my treasure house and Shabbos is her name
and I desire to give it to Israel”
The gift of Shabbos
Glory of the special soul
Wings to soar higher
To reach our Creator
Who dwells in sublime spheres
Revel in His majestic splendor
Show trust in His salvation
A desire to connect
Deep love to reflect
Experience His warmth
Shabbos is a sign
The banner of loyalty
The people that sanctifies the Seventh
A nation sanctifying the Holy day
Throughout the generations
Years of trials and tribulations
And the Children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath
A spark ignites inside
A flame burns worldwide
An oasis of tranquility
Through the peaceful aura of completion
Ties of connection
Father and His children
Bound eternally
