Hanukkah Candles

(count out on fingers as the rhyme indicates)

Eight little candles in a row,
Waiting to join the holiday glow.

The first night we light candle number one.
Hanukkah time has now begun.

The second night we light candles one and two.
Hanukkah's here there's lots to do.

The third night we light all up to three.
Hanukkah's here there's lots to see.

The fourth night we light all up to four.
Each now a part of the Hanukkah lore.

The fifth night we light all up to five.
Helping our Hanukkah come alive.

The sixth night we light all up to six.
Hanukkah's here there's food to fix.

The seventh night we light all up to seven.
The glow of each candle reaches to Heaven.

The eight night we light all up to eight.
Hanukkah's here, let's celebrate!
