Lyrics: Sara Levi-Tanai; Melody: Emanuel Amiran (20th century Israel)

lyrics

בָּאנוּ חוֹשֶׁךְ לְגָרֵשׁ
בְּיָדֵינוּ אוֹר וָאֵשׁ
כָּל אֶחָד הוּא אוֹר קָטָן
וְכֻלָנוּ אוֹר אֵיתָן
סוּרָה חוֹשֶׁךְ הָלְאָה שְחוֹר
סוּרָה מִפְּנֵי הָאוֹר

We've come to chase away the darkness
We bear light and fire
Each glimmer is small
But together, our blaze is fierce
Flee, darkness, go away, night
Flee, before the light
וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעַךָ כָּמוֹךָ
Love your neighbor as yourself (Leviticus 19:18)

וְגֵר לֹא תוֹנֶה וְלֹא תִלְחָצֶנּוּ כִּי גֵרִים הֱיִיתֶם בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם.
"You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt" (Exodus 22:20)
