DAYENU, “It Would Have Been Enough”
Just as we do not rejoice over the fate of our enemies, we also recognize the magnitude of God’s salvation and His gracious actions toward us. With a grateful heart and a healthy fear of the Lord, we sing “Dayenu” (“it would have satisfied us”) together, remembering the many great acts that God has done on behalf of His people.
Ilu hotzi, hotzianu, hotzianu miMitzrayim, hotzianu miMitzrayim, dayenu!
Dai-dai-yenu, dai-dai-yenu, dai-dai-yenu, dayenu, dayenu!
Had God done nothing but save us from the land of Egypt, for that alone we would have been satisfied!
Ilu natan natan lanu, natan lanu et haTorah, natan lanu et haTorah, dayenu!
Dai-dai-yenu, dai-dai-yenu, dai-dai-yenu, dayenu, dayenu!
Had God given us nothing more than the Torah, for that alone we would have been satisfied!
Ilu natan natan lanu, natan lanu et Yeshua, natan lanu et Yeshua, dayenu!
Dai-dai-yenu, dai-dai-yenu, dai-dai-yenu, dayenu, dayenu!
Had God given us nothing more than Yeshua, for that alone
