Queen and King

a groom and bride hold hands by a field of sunflowers
 
Queen and King
Come in peace,
Beloved of Israel,
Sabbath Queen,
Bringing sweet bread
And fine wine.
 
Come with grace,
Faithful King,
Sovereign and loyal,
Bringing hope
And mercy.
 
Yedid Nefesh
Dearest Soul,
Meet us in the fields of our days.
Avinu Malkeinu,
Our Father our King,
Bless us with renewal.
Makor Hayyim,
Source of Life,
Show us the wells of living waters.
El Melekh Ne’eman,
Loyal Sovereign,
Bring your realm of prosperity.
 
Let the glory of Shabbat dwell with us.
Let the hope of forgiveness enliven us.
Let the taste of rest comfort us.
Let the promise of renewal sustain us.
And we will glimpse the world to come as you bless us.
And we will become strong and humble in Your Word.
 
The Queen is in the field.
The King is in the field.
They have come together,
To bless us,
To see us,
To sustain us
With their sacred power.
 
Greet them with music,
Greet them with dance,
Loving and keeping the Sabbath,
Doing the work of prayer and repentance,
With Torah and mitzvot,
With humility and passion,
And with songs of praise.
