Again, the Sabbath
Wicked winds in the air
as the year
begins to draw to a close
The papers are full of murder
and mayhem
Yet we know well how to take
refuge
Again. the Sabbath
arrives and we lift our voices
in song,
taste the fruit of the vine
The sacred scrolls
enable us to face the challenges
of this earthly life
It is time to lift our
eyes heavenward
Long ago Rabbi Heschel
pointed out
that the Sabbaths are
our cathedrals
Let is raise our cathedral tonight
raise it high
Again, the Sabbath
Soon we will be
facing frigid air
But the warmth of
a Sabbath service
will aid our hearts and souls
