Who Can Retell
Who can retell,
the things that befell us,
Who can count them?
In every age a hero or sage,
Came to our aid.
Hark! In days of yore in
Israel's
ancient land,
Brave Maccabeus
led the
faithful band.
But now all Israel
must as one arise,
Redeem itself
through deed and
sacrifice.
Who can retell,
the things that
befell us,
Who can count them?
In every age a
hero or sage,
Came to our aid.
