A MIRACLE OF CHANUKAH
TO CHANUKAH
Once there was an evil king
Whose sword was sharp and shining.
Who was he?
Antiochus.
This evil man with his battalions galore
Came against the Jews and made war -
Antiochus.
Up rose a hero named Yehuda
Who saved his sweet land of Judah.
Who was he?
The Maccabee!
He came and lit the Temple menorah
And the Jewish had light from its aura.
When was this?
On Chanukah!
