Hasten, O Friend divine, to Your House serene. We may have strayed from the right path, but we have paid the price in every type of pain. You L-rd are our defense and hope. Each day we wait for Your grace to redeem us and make us a watered garden.
Hasten, O Friend, to our sacred temple. Our sins have mounted high, but see us bound in chains. You are our Holy Redeemer. To You we bring our earnest plea to turn to us in favor and make us free.
Hasten, O Friend, to our city of righteousness. We have not listened to the prophet's voice, but we have served the time of affliction. You L-rd are our Judge, the Giver of our Law. Our burden we set on You. Bestow on us Your strength and peace and make us free.
For the sake of the ancestors, deliver their children and their children's children.
Blessed are You, O L-RD, Redeemer of Yisrael.
excerpt from the B'rah Dodi - 11th century
