Hanukkah Blessings

How Lucky are we that we have lights so we can see

Although the day is done

What a miracle that a spark lifts these candles out of the dark

Every evening, one by one

Until the end of hanukkah, of hanukkah.

With the jingle bells and the toys

And the TV shows and noise

It's easy to forget

At the end of the day

Our whole family will say

These words for Hanukkah

Baruch atah Adonai, eloheinu melech ha'olam, asher kid'shanu

B'mitz'votav v'tzivanu l'hadlik ner shel Hanukkah.

Light the candles for Hanukkah, for Hanukkah

We remember how Maccabees

Fought so all of us could be free

And so we celebrate on this festival of the lights

There's a joyful time every night

But we illuminate the candles of Hanukkah, of Hanukkah

Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam she'asa niseem

La'avoteinu bayamim haheim baz'man hazeh.

Hanukkah...

Hanukkah...
