lyrics

There’s a light on the hill
In the distance there’s a light
There’s a light shining still
In the night 

There’s an army at the gate
There’s an army at the walls
They’re gathered at the gate
And the walls
They set siege for seven days
For seven days we are besieged
We’ve had hope for seven days
We’ve had hope

If we could persevere
For just another day
If for one more day
We could outlast the siege
And for one more day and night
The lamp flickered in the breeze
Another night
’Twas blazing in the breeze

And the oil in the lamps
Had almost burned away
The lamps have almost burned
For seven days
There’s a light on the hill
In the distance there’s a light
There’s a light shining still
In the night

So we light the lamp again
At this joyous time of year
To remember Judah & the Maccabees
For eight days we light the lamps
Eight days we light the lamps
To remember Judah and the Maccabees

There’s a light on the hill
In the distance there’s a light
There’s a light shining still
In the night
There’s a light on the hill
In the distance there’s a light
There’s a light shining still
In the night 
There’s a light shining still
In the night 
There’s a light shining still ……
