The shadows are already lengthening

In the afternoon

Give us the Sabbath and give us peace

For the city of Jerusalem

 

And give us a time of kingship

In the twilight

Give us the Sabbath and give us peace

In the city of Jerusalem

 

Here comes the Sabbath

With the blush of the sky

Give us the Sabbath and give us peace

For the city of Jerusalem

 

Here is peace descending upon us

Descending on white wings

Give us the Sabbath and give us peace

In the city of Jerusalem

 

Give us the Sabbath and give us peace

In the city of Jerusalem

All the towers

Are bowing

Give us the Sabbath and give us peace

For the city of Jerusalem

 

We will illuminate a great light

The apple of our eye

Give us peace and give us the Sabbath

In the city of Jerusalem

 

Give us the Sabbath and give us peace

In the city of Jerusalem
