Light the Festive Candles

I'm a day early but all best wishes and blessings on Hanukkah to our friends...
Light the first of eight tonight -
the farthest candle to the right.
Light the first and second, too,
when tomorrow's day is through
Then light three, and then light four -
every dusk one candle more
til all eight burn bright and high,
honoring a day gone by
When the Temple was restored,
rescued from the Syrian lord,
And an eight-day feast proclaimed -
The Festival of Lights - well named
To celebrate the joyous day
when we regained the right to pray
to our one God in our own way.
