LYRIC
NEIROS SHABBOS- Sruli Williger- Composed By Chayala Hartstein- Hakadosh Baruch Hu… Chesed
The sun sets over the clouds,
As the world stands still, not a sound,
But listen carefully, you can hear the whispering,
Announcing the arrival of the Shabbos queen.
The candles reflecting the joy
On the faces of every girl and boy,
Mother prays there silently,
Children sing Lecha Dodi,
As the Shechina descends to fill the world with peace.
Suddenly from the dark,
Comes my Shabbos, my spark,
And its holiness lights up my soul,
It’s a treasure that makes me feel whole,
And my spirit soars because my heart feels at home.
And on each Friday night,
I can close my eyes tight,
I can picture it so vividly,
I can taste the geula so sweet,
It’s the Taam gan eden my Neshama seeks.
CHORUS:
And as long as Klal Yisrael keeps the Shabbos,
Very soon Hashem will also keep his promise,
And on that day the candles cast their glow,
We’ll be on our way back home,
To Yerusholayim.
Im atem meshamrim neiros shel Shabbos,
Im atem meshamrim neiros shel Shabbos,
Ani, ani mar’eh lachem,
Ani mar’eh lachem,
Neiros shel tzion.
The sun rises over the clouds,
The world is alive, joy abounds,
So listen carefully, you can hear the calling,
Announcing the arrival of Moshiach Ben Dovid.
The candles are brighter than before,
They will light up the world for ever more,
Though this Galus has been so long,
Klal Yisroel remains so strong,
Ani mareh lochem, Neiros shel tzion.
Suddenly from the dark,
Comes my Shabbos, my spark,
And its holiness lights up my soul,
It’s a treasure that makes me feel whole,
And my spirit soars because my heart feels at home.
And on each Friday night,
I can close my eyes tight,
I can picture it so vividly,
I can taste the geula so sweet,
It’s the Taam gan eden my Neshama seeks.
CHORUS:
And as long as Klal Yisrael keeps the Shabbos,
Very soon Hashem will also keep his promise,
And on that day the candles cast their glow,
We’ll be on our way back home,
To Yerusholayim.
Im atem meshamrim neiros shel Shabbos,
Im atem meshamrim neiros shel Shabbos,
Ani, ani mar’eh lachem,
Ani mar’eh lachem,
Neiros shel tzion.
