Beloved of my soul
Av Harachamim
Draw me closer to your will
Into the palace of the King
Then I will run to you
Like a hart across the field
To taste the sweetness of Your love
And all the secrets you reveal.

Beautiful in all Your ways
Ziv HaOlam
My soul pines for You
And I’ve have not yet begun
To tell the pain of separation
And the heartache that I feel
Now the time has come to reconcile
To strengthen and to heal.

Spread over me Your canopy of peace
Gladden us with an everlasting joy
And let the whole world be filled with the knowledge of HaShem
And let me be one of the servants You employ.

U’fros aleynu succat sh’lomecha
Nagila v’nismicha bach
V’ta’ir eretz mikvodecha
V’chanainu ki’may’olam.
