Baruch El Elyon

Rs age, Paka “Sia ne ee ee Ie ae rg mS ey To relieve our souls from distress and pain. May He seek the good of Zion, the outcast city. How long must she grieve, her spirits downcast? All who keep the Sabbath, man and woman alike, find favor like an offering made to God. He who rides the heavens, King of worlds, Gently told His people to rest, With tasty food and delicacies of all kinds, With elegant dress, as at a family feast. All who keep the Sabbath, man and woman alike, find favor like an offering made to God. Happy are all who await a double reward From the One who sees all, though He dwells in dense dark. He will grant him a heritage in hill and valley, A heritage and resting place like [ Jacob] on whom the sun shone. All who keep the Sabbath, man and woman alike, find favor like an offering made to God. Whoever keeps the Sabbath fully, not profaning it, Shows that he is worthy; holy is his lot. Happy is he who fulfills the day’s duty; It is like a gift presented to God who fashioned him. All who keep the Sabbath, man and woman alike, find favor like an offering made to God. The Rock, my God, called it “Beloved of days.” Happy are the faithful if it is kept intact. He will set on their head a close-fitting crown. On them the Rock of Eternity will make His spirit rest. All who keep the Sabbath, man and woman alike, find favor like an offering made to God. He who remembers the Sabbath day to keep it holy Will gain high honor like a diadem on his head. Therefore let each give to his soul Delight and joy with which to be exalted. All who keep the Sabbath, man and woman alike, find favor like an offering made to God. Let her be holy to you — Sabbath the queen — Placing a blessing in your home. In all your dwellings, do no work, Nor your sons and daughters, your servant or maid. All who keep the Sabbath, man and woman alike, find favor like an offering made to God.
