O HANUKKAH, O HANUKKAH
(traditional folksong)
O Hanukkah, O Hanukkah
 Come light the menorah.
Let's have a party, we'll all dance the hora.
Gather round the table, we'll give you a treat.
Dreidels to play with and latkes to eat.
And while we are playing
The candles are burning low
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago. (2x)
ROCK OF AGES
(traditional)
Rock of ages, let our song
Praise Thy saving power.
Thou amidst the raging foes
Wast our sheltering tower.
Furious they assailed us,
But Thine arm availed us.
And Thy word broke their sword
When our own strength failed us.
Children of the martyr race,
Whether free or fettered,
Wake the echoes of the songs
Where ye may be scattered.
Yours the message cheering
That the time is nearing
Which will see all men free
Tyrants disappearing. |
THE MACCABEES
(traditional)
Who saved the Temple?
Tell me please.
I know, I know, the Maccabees.
Who are our heroes, tell me please?
I know, I know, the Maccabees.
Who fought the Assyrians, tell me please?
I know, I know, the Maccabees.
Who fought for freedom, tell me please?
I know, I know, the Maccabees.
Who found the olive oil, tell me please?
I know, I know, the Maccabees.
Who lit the Menorah, tell me please?
I know, I know, the Maccabees.
I HAVE A LITTLE DREIDEL
by S. Grossman and Sam Goldfarb
 I have a little dreidel,
I made it out of clay.
And when it’s dry and ready,
Oh dreidel I shall play.
(Chorus)
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay;
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dreidel I shall play.
It has a lovely body,
With legs so short and thin.
And when it gets all tired,
It drops and then I win.
(Chorus) |
