God we praise you

Everything is created for you

He took away my burden

Berusa Er (Drink Your Fill)

Text (from Song of Solomon 4 & 5)

Your love is so sweet, my sister and my bride, much lovelier than wine

Your balm more delectable than any perfume.

Your lips are dripping with nectar, my love. Milk and honey hide ’neath your tongue. 

Your garments are fragrant like Lebannon

In your orchard of plenty, the pomegranates are growing. 

Henna, spikenard and saffron, and calamus cinnamon the finest of spices.

You’re the fountain of the garden, a well of clear and cool water,

With streams flowing from Lebannon

Come drink your fill, oh lovers! Drink so deeply of love!

I slept and was dreaming, my heart was awoken, 

My beloved is knocking, my handsome friend who makes me shake and quiver

Open for me my sister, my darling dove so perfect

My head is glistening with dew and my locks are dripping with with the drops of midnight

I rise up to receive my beloved with myrrh my hands are dripping.

Through all my fingers run liquid myrrh. My heart is pounding with passion. 

Come drink your fill, oh lovers! Drink so deeply of love!

Bridge Over Troubled Water
