Here they are:

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.

My personal favorite is Peter Yarrow's "Light One Candle"
