lyrics

On Chanukah, the candles bright
We light them one by one each night
As we recall the miracle
Of Chanukah.

This is the Feast of Lights
The candles brightly shine
As in those days and at this time
The lights of Chanukah.

The Maccabees so long ago
They fought against the foreign foe
The Temple cleansed, the oil renewed
On Chanukah.

This is the Feast of Lights
The candles brightly shine
As in those days and at this time
The lights of Chanukah.

Rejoice, rejoice and let us sing
For news of miracles we bring
The many fled before the few
On Chanukah.

This is the Feast of Lights
The candles brightly shine
As in those days and at this time
The lights of Chanukah.
