GEULA FOR SHABBAT HOL HAMO'ED

In years in which the first and eighth days of Pesah fall on Shabbat, and there is no Shabbat Hol HaMo'ed, the following is said on the eighth day.
Hebrew
בְּרַח דּוֹדִי אֶל שְׁאָן נָוֶה
אִם הֶלְאִינוּ דֶּרֶךְ הֶעָוֶה
הִנֵּה לָקִינוּ בְּכָל מִדְוֶה
וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה מָעוֹז וּמִקְוֶה
עָלֶיךָ כָּל הַיּוֹם נְקַוֶּה
לִגְאָלֵנוּ וּלְשִׁיתֵנוּ כְּגַן רָוֶה.
Sephardi
Berach dodi el she'an naveh
Im helainu derech he'aveh
Hineh lakinu bechol midveh
Ve'atah Adonai ma'oz umikveh
Alecha kol hayom nekaveh
Liga'leinu ule'shiteinu kegan raveh.
English
Hasten, my Beloved, to Your peaceful abode! / And though we have wearied You with our corrupted ways, / behold, we have suffered every sort of pain; / and You, LORD, are our Stronghold and Hope. / For You we wait all the day, / for You to redeem us, and make us like a watered garden.
Hebrew
בְּרַח דּוֹדִי אֶל מְקוֹם מִקְדָּשֵׁנוּ
אִם עֲוֹנוֹת עָבְרוּ רֹאשֵׁנוּ
הִנֵּה בַּרְזֶל בָּאָה נַפְשֵׁנוּ
וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אוֹרֵנוּ, קְדוֹשֵׁנוּ
עָלֶיךָ נִשְׁפֹּךְ שִׂיחַ רַחֲשֵׁנוּ
לִגְאָלֵנוּ מִמְּעוֹן קָדְשְׁךָ לְהַחְפִּישֵׁנוּ.
Sephardi
Berach dodi el mekom mikdasheinu
Im avonot avru rosheinu
Hineh barzel ba'ah nafsheinu
Ve'atah Adonai oreinu, kedosheinu
Alecha nishpoch siach rachasheinu
Liga'leinu mime'on kodshecha lehachpisheinu.
English
Hasten, my Beloved, to the site of our Sanctuary! / And though our iniquity has gone beyond our heads, / behold, our bodies have been bound in iron chains; / and You, LORD, are our Light, our Holy One. / It is to You that we pour out our whispered prayers / that You, from Your holy abode, might redeem us and set us free.
Hebrew
בְּרַח דּוֹדִי אֶל עִיר צִדְקֵנוּ
אִם לֹא שָׁמַעְנוּ לְקוֹל מַצְדִּיקֵנוּ
הִנֵּה אֲכָלוּנוּ בְּכָל פֶּה מְדַקְּיֵנוּ
וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה שׁוֹפְטֵנוּ, מְחוֹקְקֵנוּ
עָלֶיךָ נַשְׁלִיךְ יְהַב חֶלְקֵנוּ
לִגְאָלֵנוּ בְּהַשְׁקֵט וּבְבִטְחָה לְהַחֲזִיקֵנוּ.
Sephardi
Berach dodi el ir tzidkeinu
Im lo shamanu lekol matzdikeinu
Hineh achalunu bechol peh medakeinu
Ve'atah Adonai shofteinu, mechokekeinu
Alecha nashlich yehav chelkeinu
Liga'leinu behashket uvitchah lehachazikeinu.
English
Hasten, my Beloved, to our City of Righteousness! / And though we did not heed the voice of our Vindicator, / behold, our destroyers have devoured us with open mouths; / and You, LORD, are our Judge, our Lawgiver. / It is upon You that we cast our burden, / that You redeem us, supporting us in tranquility and safety.
Hebrew
בְּרַח דּוֹדִי אֶל וַעַד הַזְּבוּל
עִם עֻלְּךָ סָבַלְנוּ בְּלִי סְבוֹל
הִנֵּה שִׁחֲתוּנוּ בְּכָל מִינֵי חִבּוּל
וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה מְשַׂמֵּחַ אָבוּל
עָלֶיךָ נְסַבֵּר לְהַתִּיר כְּבוּל
לִגְאָלֵנוּ לְהִתְגַּדֵּל מֵעַל גְּבוּל.
Sephardi
Berach dodi el va'ad hazevul
Im ulcha savalnu beli sevol
Hineh shichatunu bechol minei chibul
Ve'atah Adonai mesameach avul
Alecha nesaber lehatir kevul
Liga'leinu lehitgadel me'al gevul.
English
Hasten, my Beloved, to the Tent of Meeting, Your Lofty Abode! / And though we were unwilling to burden ourselves with Your yoke, / behold, they have afflicted us with all methods of abuse; but You, LORD, bring joy to the aggrieved. It is You we await, to loosen our bindings, to redeem us, making us great beyond our borders.
Hebrew
בְּרַח דּוֹדִי אֶל נְשָׂא מִגְּבָעוֹת
אִם זַדְנוּ בִּפְרֹעַ פְּרָעוֹת
הִנֵּה הִשִּׂיגוּנוּ צָרוֹת רַבּוֹת וְרָעוֹת
וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֵל לְמוֹשָׁעוֹת
עָלֶיךָ נִתְחַנֵּן שִׂיחַ שַׁוְעוֹת
לִגְאָלֵנוּ וּלְעַטְּרֵנוּ נֹעַם יְשׁוּעוֹת.

Liga'leinu ule'atereinu no'am yeshu'ot.
English
Hasten, my Beloved, to the most exalted mountain! And though we have acted arrogantly, unrestrained, / behold, we have been overtaken by many terrible evils; / and You, LORD, are a God of salvation. / It is You we beseech when we cry out in prayer, / that You might redeem us, and adorn us with the delight of salvation.
Hebrew
בִּגְלַל אָבוֹת תּוֹשִׁיעַ בָּנִים
וְתָבִיא גְּאֻלָּה לִבְנֵי בְנֵיהֶם
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, גָּאַל יִשְׂרָאֵל.
