Rise up, my light, rise up and shine; My candles, glow with light divine. See my Menorah singing in the night, For all the children basking in its light, For all the children in its light, in its light.
Rise up, my light, rise up and shine; My candles, glow with light divine. On Chanukah we celebrate and sing; Our prayers rise, our melodies take wing, Our prayers rise, come let us sing, let us sing.
