Clicking these songs will play them in the Rhapsody player. Rhapsody is a (US only) subscription service that lets you listen to almost any recording ever made. I heartily recommend you learn more and download Rhapsody for free two weeks. (They do ask for a credit card to protect against fraudulent endless trials).

Maoz tsur y'shu'ati

l'cha na'eh l'shabei'ach

Tikon beit t'filati

V'sham toda n'zabei'ach

L'eit tachin matbei'ach

Mitzar ham'nabei'ach.

Az egmor b'shir mizmor

Chanukat hamizbeiach.

Az egmor b'shir mizmor

Chanukat hamizbeiach.

Rock of Ages, My Salvation

To You it is pleasing to give praise

Establish the house of my prayer

And there I shall bring a thanksgiving offering

When the slaughter  is prepared

Of the vicious enemy

Then I shall complete with song

The dedication of the Temple altar

Then I shall complete with song

The dedication of the Temple altar
