| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Chanukah Hymn | | By Adolph Huebsch |
| | | LORD, the true that follow thee | |
| Beam in vict’ry’s radiant light, | |
| Fill’d their hearts with joyous glee, | |
| Even in the darkest night. | |
| |
| Roaring billows wild and fleet, | 5 |
| Onward pressed the enemy’s band; | |
| Israel’s remnant Jacob’s seat, | |
| How wilt thou their might withstand? | |
| |
| Rise ye heroes, rise to fight | |
| For your standard, truth divine, | 10 |
| Not by numbers nor by might, | |
| By his spirit ye shall shine. | |
| |
| And inspired by such appeal | |
| Ev’ry man to hosts increased; | |
| And they fought with holy zeal | 15 |
| Till the tyrant-hold released. | |
| |
| Lord, thy truth, thy holy love, | |
| Is our cherish’d banner still; | |
| And in faith for evermore, | |
| Thy command we follow will. | 20 | | | |
