An Ostinato for December
A Two Part Suite for Peace

Based on the Traditional Hebrew Song, Chanukah, Oh Chanukah and
The Ukrainian Bell Carol by Mykola Dmytrovich Leotovych
Special Text for World Peace composed by Ken Dahlin on October 30, 1998 and Copyrighted

Chanukah, Oh Chanukah
Chanukah, Oh Chanukah, we light the Menorah
Joy abounding in our hearts, we all dance the hora

See the candles burning a radiant glow
Candles that remind us of days long ago

On earth peace, on earth peace
On earth peace for all do we pray

Let the lights shine so that all humankind
Will find peace on this earth here today

Ukrainian Bell Carol
Bells of the world all seem to ring
Our joy divine,  it's Christmas time.

Ringing to all their message clear
All on this earth be of good cheer

Oh how they ring. Let us all sing
Peace on this earth good will to all

Peace and brotherhood for all we pray
In this world will grow each passing day

Bells of the world all seem to ring
Our joy divine it's Christmas time
