Shabbat Menucha

This day all our striving is done
This day shall be joy for everyone
Blessed are the poor in spirit
For they shall have the kingdom
Blessed are those who mourn
Comfort shall be theirs
Blessed be the Lord our God
And blessed are the ones who take refuge in His name
This day we will honor your name
This day you’ve removed all our shame
Blessed are the meek and gentle
For they shall own the land
Blessed are the righteous ones
For they’ll be satisfied
Blessed be the Lord our God
And blessed are the ones who take refuge in His name
Let this day be a sanctuary (oh Lord we love Your sanctuary)
A sanctuary in time (we love this day You’ve given us)
This day proclaims God is true to his name
It’s a taste of his finest wine
This day as we all gather near
This day, Lord, your message is so clear
Blessed are the merciful
For they will have your mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart
They’ll see you face to face
Blessed be the Lord our God
And blessed are the ones who take refuge in His name
