The sinking sun has disappeared, its faded from the sky
Now the time has come to bid the Shabbos Queen goodbye
With a train of a thousand angels dancing, basking in her light
We’ll walk her down to the edge of town, and there we’ll say goodnight.

HaMavdil bain kodesh l’chol
Chatoseinu hu yimchol
Zarenu v’chaspeinu, yarbei k’chol
V’chakochavim b’laila.

We wait for you so patiently, counting down the days
Till we greet you with L’cha Dodi and candles all ablaze
With a table set for our holy guests we’ll take you to our hearts
And its there you’ll stay, through the coming days, even though we’ll be apart.

HaMavdil bain kodesh l’chol
Chatoseinu hu yimchol
Zarenu v’chaspeinu, yarbei k’chol
V’chakochavim b’laila.

Now in your darkest night if you think you might not make it till the dawn
Just remember the holy Shabbos Queen and the sweetness of her song
And hold you braided candle high, and leave no place for fear
‘Cause the God of all of Israel is One and always near.

And as our flames unite

I can see the light t

That was hidden safe away
For the time to come

When we’ll live as one

And only joy will fill our days...

So lead us to the gates where the righteous wait to greet the new days birth
And set us on the paths of peace where the heaven touch the earth
And as we wait for the dawn we’ll stand to chant the ancient words anew
“LaYehudim haita ora v’simcha, kain tiyhe launu”.

HaMavdil bain kodesh l’chol
Chatoseinu hu yimchol
Zarenu v’chaspeinu, yarbei k’chol
V’chakochavim b’laila.
