By Adolph HuebschChanukah Hymn
L
Beam in vict’ry’s radiant light,
Fill’d their hearts with joyous glee,
Even in the darkest night.
Onward pressed the enemy’s band;
Israel’s remnant Jacob’s seat,
How wilt thou their might withstand?
For your standard, truth divine,
Not by numbers nor by might,
By his spirit ye shall shine.
Ev’ry man to hosts increased;
And they fought with holy zeal
Till the tyrant-hold released.
Is our cherish’d banner still;
And in faith for evermore,
Thy command we follow will.
