We praise You, Eternal God, Sovereign of the universe;
You hallow us with Your Mitzvot, and command us to kindle the Chanukah lights.

We praise You, Eternal God, Sovereign of the universe;
You showed wonders to our fathers and mothers in days of old, at this season.

We praise You, Eternal One, Sovereign God of the universe, for giving us life, for sustaining us, and for enabling us to reach this season.

Rock of Ages:
Rock of ages, let our song
Praise Your saving power;
You, amid the raging foes,
Were our sheltering tower.
Furious, they assailed us
But Your arm availed us,
And Your word
Broke their sword,
When our own strength failed us.
