יוֹנָה יוֹנָה מָצְאָה בוֹ מָנוֹחַ, וְשָׁם יָנוּחוּ יְגִיעֵי כֹחַ
יוֹם שַׁבָּתוֹן אֵין לִשְׁכּוֹחַ, זִכְרוֹ כְּרֵיחַ הַנִּיחֹחַ
יוֹנָה מָצְאָה בוֹ מָנוֹחַ, וְשָׁם יָנוּחוּ יְגִיעֵי כֹחַ
היוֹם נִכְבָּד לִבְנֵי אֱמוּנִים, זְהִירִים לְשָׁמְרוֹ אָבוֹת וּבָנִים
חָקוּק בִּשְׁנֵי לֻחוֹת אֲבָנִים, מֵרֹב אוֹנִים וְאַמִּיץ כֹּחַ
וּבָאוּ כֻלָּם בִּבְרִית יַחַד, נַעֲשֶׂה וְנִשְׁמָע אָמְרוּ כְּאֶחָד
וּפָתְחוּ וְעָנוּ יְיָ אֶחָד, בָּרוּךְ הַנּוֹתֵן לַיָּעֵף כֹּח
דִּבֶּר בְּקָדְשׁוֹ בְּהַר הַמּוֹר, יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי זָכוֹר וְשָׁמוֹר
וְכָל פִּקּוּדָיו יַחַד לִגְמוֹר, חַזֵּק מָתְנַיִם וְאַמֵּץ כֹּח
הָעָם אֲשֶׁר נָע כַּצֹּאן תָּעָה, יִזְכּוֹר לְפָקְדוֹ בְּרִית וּשְׁבוּעָה
לְבַל יַעֲבָר בָּם מִקְרֵה רָעָה, כַּאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ עַל מֵי נֹחַ
Translation
How sweet are your memories,
I could never forget you,
sweet Sabbath day,
Fragrant as incense,
never to fade away;
The wandering dove
finds her nest.
In you, all you toil find a place to rest.
Melody Josh Warshawsky
