Light a Shabbas Candle
Lyrics and melody copyright Oct.15,2015
By Rabbi Baruch Chait

Intro:
Won’t you Join us
at the celebration
Of the completion
of creation
Won’t you Join us
at the celebration
Of the completion
of creation

1.
As the seventh setting sun
Slips behind the mountains
And the darkness of night begins to fall
light a Shabbas candle
So when the stars pierce through heavens
You will hear the queen of Shabbas call

Chorus …….
So light a Shabbas candle
Bring light into your home
Bring love be into your heart
Bring peace into the world
a burning fire …. Deep in your soul

2.
six days a week the sweat drips down my cheek
My Aching body’s oh it’s tired I feel small
Six days a week my troubled mind is weak
And I can barely think at all
3.
So I light a Shabbas candle to escape
the darkness
the struggle and the turmoil and the strife
Well I am waiting for the Shabbas
So I can ponder my existence
And bring real meaning to my life

Chorus …….
So light a Shabbas candle
Bring light into your home
Bring love be into your heart
Bring peace into the world
a burning fire …. Deep in your soul

4.
the little candle’s fire
will glitter and inspire
the people of the world
so they will know
We are all guests of The Master ….the Master of creation
So watch the Shabbas candles as they glow
5.
Gather round all children
of father Abraham
Your the children of Israel that He loves
When you Light the Shabbas candle
His spirit rest upon us
And The light of freedom shines down from up above.

(Melody of chorus )
So gaze a the beauty
And the wisdom of creation
The mountains and the valleys
The rivers and the oceans
The endless highways
Through the heavens above

Chorus …….
So light a Shabbas candle
Bring light into your home
Bring love be into your heart
Bring peace into the world
a burning fire …. Deep in your soul
