Singing as Praise

Haggadah Section: Hallel

We now come to the part of the Seder called Hallel, which means "praise." We raise our voices together with some traditional, and some not-so-traditional songs of praise and joy. We celebrate our redemption from Egypt, and we celebrate being together for this joyous, special occasion.

Baby Moses in a Basket (Ellen Allard)

Baby Moses in a basket, in a basket on the river; Baby Moses in a basket on the river Nile.

Yocheved gives birth to a strong baby boy, and hides him as he starts to thrive.

Soon she has a plan to put him in the river Nile, the only way he’ll stay alive.

Miriam, his sister, loved her baby brother dear, she helps her mother with his care

And when the boy is placed in a basket in the reeds, she hides herself ‘til he’s found there.

Pharaoh’s daughter finds the basket floating in the Nile, she knows it is a Hebrew boy;

Miriam brings her mother in to suckle the child, now Yocheved holds her pride and joy.

Moses grew to lead his people to the Promised Land, God had chosen him to set them free

But without the love and courage of the women at the Nile, it would’ve changed the course of history.

Standing at the Sea (Ellen Allard)

Standing at the sea, mi chamocha (3x) Freedom's on our way!

Singing and dancing, mi chamocha (3x) Freedom’s on our way!

Freedom, freedom! (3x) Freedom's on our way!

They're coming up behind… Bound no more…

The sea she parts…Walking through the water…

We’re on the other side...One God…

Standing at the sea…Singing and dancing…Freedom’s on our way!

Who Knows One?

Ooh, ah, oo-ah-ah, singin’ Ooh, ah, oo-ah-ah,

Who knows One? I know one:

One is our God, One is our God, One is our God in the heaven and the earth, ah, oo-ah ah, singin’ ooh, ah, oo-ah-ah!

Who knows Two? I know Two:

Two are the tablets that Moses brought,

And one is our God, One is our God, One is our God in the heaven and the earth, ah, oo-ah ah, singin’ ooh, ah, oo-ah-ah!

Who knows Three? I know Three:

Three are the Papas, Two are the tablets that Moses brought,

And one is our God, One is our God, One is our God in the heaven and the earth, ah, oo-ah ah, singin’ ooh, ah, oo-ah-ah!

(Keep going all the way up to 13! Here are the rest of the verses.)

One is our God, One is our God, One is our God...in the heaven and the earth! Two are the tablets that Moses brought, Three are the Papas, Four are the Mamas, Five are the books of the (clap) Torah, Six are the parts of the (clap) Mishnah, Seven are the Days of the Week (ooh ahh), Eight are the days to the B’rit Milah, Nine are the months ‘til a baby’s born, Ten are the Ten Commandments, Eleven are the stars in Joseph’s dream, Twelve are the tribes of Israel, Thirteen are the years to B’nai Mitzvah (Yeah!)

Miriam’s Song (Debbie Friedman)

And the women dancing with their timbrels, followed Miriam as she sang her song!

Sing a song to the One whom we’ve exalted. Miriam and the women danced and danced the whole night long!

And Miriam was a weaver of unique variety, the tapestry she wove was one which sang our history.

With every strand and every thread she crafted her delight, a woman touched with spirit, she dances toward the light.

And the women dancing with their timbrels...

When Miriam stood upon the shores and gazed across the sea, the wonder of this miracle she soon came to believe.

Whoever thought the sea would part with an outstretched hand, and we would pass to freedom and march to the promised land.

And the women dancing with their timbrels...

And Miriam the Prophet took her timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her just as she had planned.

And Miriam raised her voice in song, she sang with praise and might: We’ve just lived through a miracle; we’re going to dance tonight!

And the women dancing with their timbrels...

Pharoah Pharoah

CHORUS: Pharaoh, Pharaoh, whoa baby, let my people go! (2x)

A burnin' bush told me just the other day, that I should go to Egypt and say,
"It's time to let my people be free - Listen to God if you won't listen to me!"

CHORUS

Well me and and my people goin' to the Red Sea, with Pharaoh's best army comin' after me.
I took my staff, stuck it in the sand, and all of God's people walked on dry land.
Singin...

CHORUS

Now Pharaoh's army was a-comin' too, so whattaya think that God did do?
Had me take my staff and clear my throat, and all of Pharaoh's army did the dead man's float.

CHORUS

Well that's the story of the stubborn goat. Pharaoh should've know that chariots don't float.
The lesson is simple, it's easy to find, when God says, "GO!" you had better mind!

God of might, God of right, we would bow before You,
Sing your praise in these days celebrate Your glory,
When we hear, year by year, freedom’s wondrous story.

Hodu (Debbie Friedman)

Chorus:

הֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ

Ho-du la-do-nai ki tov. Ki l'o-lam chas-do, ki l'o-lam chas-do

Yo-mar na, yo-mar na Yis-ra-eil
Ki l'o-lam chas-do, ki l'o-lam chas-do

[Chorus]

Let all who revere God's name now say, "Ki l'o-lam chas-do." Sing praise to the One for God is good, "Ki l'o-lam chas-do."

[Chorus]

Give thanks to Adonai, for God is good, God's mercy endures for ever. So let Israel now say, God's mercy endures for ever.
