Chorus:
Eight candles burning, burning bright
Drive away the dark on a cold winter night.
Remember the Maccabees so strong and so brave
We send them our thanks for the freedom they gave
Chorus
Let us dance and sing songs of prayer
For a Great Miracle Happened There
Chorus
See the dreidl dance, hop and spin
Nun, Gimel, Hay, Shin
Chorus
Come gather ’round and latkes we’ll eat
To remind us of oil lamps as we feast
Chorus
Our Rock of Ages is Adonai’s Love
As the light of Truth shines on us from above.
Chorus
