Thank you, and here is my prayer W mourn in the morn, Alongside the forlorn, Who know either love nor joy , We plead for your love Come from above To hearten each girl and boy. We pray day and night That the beams of your light May penetrate gloom and pain And renew a delight In the knowledge that You, God Still reign. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️
What a great song! Peter, Paul and Mary were one of the greatest peace promoting groups our world has ever been blessed with! Boy do I miss them! What a wonderful message they shared with the world thru their music! God Bless Them! Peace! Steve
This song is also great for memorials,stopping riots & remembering our fallen soldiers & first responders. Also it feels like I was there helping you guys out on the drums
Thank you for posting this UA-cam keeps taking it down- especially Peter's narration. He wrote this and it was the first public performance. Little Red School House chorus sings with them..They also sing with Paul on Night Before Christmas, but that isn't available I got to be in the audience waving my light..It was quite special. PBS used this for their Holiday fund raising concert for 15 years.
I remember watching this for many years until PBS discontinued airing it. I went into my local HMV store here in Toronto and it is available to order . I checked Amazon as well and it is available to order from them.
It is rare for me to feel so inspired by a song these days. It used to happen to me a lot when I was younger, but at my age it rarely happens. Not this time. I am so unbelievably moved by this song. It makes me dance, it makes me cry, it fills me with hope. I love this song so much that I just can't stop listening to it.
There was one thing that the candle lighter was doing wrong. The UNLIT candle is supposed to tilt towards the LIT one. Not the other way around. I am not Jewish, I am christian, still love the song though. On Christmas Eve, I have a church service where our final song is sung while holding candles. We were taught to light them that way to prevent injury from melted wax.
Brings a tear to my eye whenever I hear it. I want it played at my funeral, dedicated to my extended and nuclear famelys. Thanks for posting, DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT!
Yes, don't "let the light go out" amidst the negativity. Besides lighting a candle now and then, identify the causes you believe them and support them--with your time and energy and/or dollars. Lifting them up will lift your spirits. And dialogue with others, not only the people who hold the same beliefs you do but those who can explain theirs without nonproductive arguments.
Light one candle for the Maccabee children With thanks their light didn't die; Light one candle for the pain they endured When their right to exist was denied; Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice Justice and freedom demand; And light one candle for the wisdom to know That the peacemaker's time is at hand! Chorus: Don't let the light go out, It's lasted for so many years! Don't let the light go out! Let it shine through our love and our tears! Light one candle for the strength that we need To never become our own foe; Light one candle for those who are suff'ring A pain they learned so long ago; Light one candle for all we believe in, That anger not tear us apart; And light one candle to bind us together With peace as the song in our heart! [Chorus:] What is the memory that's valued so highly That we keep it alive in that flame? What's the commitment to those who have died? We cry out "they've not died in vain," We have come this far, always believing That justice will somehow prevail; This is the burden, This is the promise, This is why we will not fail! [Chorus:] Don't let the light go out! Don't let the light go out! Don't let the light go out!
Hello. I love this concert and would really like to share the song "Cherry Tree Carol" on social media, but a live video for that doesn't exist. Is that something you could make happen? I'd be ever so grateful.
This song reminds me that's I'm still a Jew just liked my greatgrandpal said to me on my porch my greatgrandpal Robert Benjamin Cohen my grandpa's talked about him to me
Light one Candle for the Ukrainian Children... Now... After all this time this song is screaming into the dark. I pray that in Moscow those you are in control realize that the Peacemaker's time is at hand.
Thank you, and here is my prayer
W mourn in the morn,
Alongside the forlorn,
Who know either love nor joy ,
We plead for your love
Come from above
To hearten each girl and boy.
We pray day and night
That the beams of your light
May penetrate gloom and pain
And renew a delight
In the knowledge that You, God
Still reign.
♥️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️
Every year we should tell Peter Yarrow and the group how much we love him and what he stood for (and light a candle, even if not Jewish).
This song expresses the TRUE meaning of Chanukah! I love it❤️👍
Peter Paul and Mary were a perfect complement to one another.
Three voices that wove a tapestry
I saw them as a youngster back
In early 60’s. They could preform in
Any venue
Thank you, Peter Yarrow, for this amazing song. We need it (and Peter, Paul and Mary) now more than ever.
Boy do we need to hear this song in this time.
Wonderful song.
This was filmed in February 1988 at Lehman College in the Bronx. My parents, my future best man and I were in the audience.
What a great song! Peter, Paul and Mary were one of the greatest peace promoting groups our world has ever been blessed with! Boy do I miss them! What a wonderful message they shared with the world thru their music! God Bless Them! Peace! Steve
i realize it's kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Joseph Ezra flixportal xD
@Graysen Gordon thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!
@Joseph Ezra you are welcome :)
Seems this video has been lost for years now but is still meaningful today. The world needs more light
I love this song. I love them. But now I can't see her without shedding a few tears.
I feel exactly the same. They were the BEST. The BEST concert I ever attended. The BEST music.
@@annadavis5388 Me too.
We miss you Mary.
This song is also great for memorials,stopping riots & remembering our fallen soldiers & first responders. Also it feels like I was there helping you guys out on the drums
Now more that ever is this precious.
Amazing song- still applies to our world in 20021
2023 ❤
Timeless inspiration. I remember singing this at the top of our lungs with my grandkids!
love this song, loved this Holiday Concert: I've watched it every times it's been on. G-d Bless PBS!

+genesclean1 It was also actually performed at Peter, Paul, and May's 25th Anniversary Concert that was shown also as a PBS special in 1986!

Not this time.
I am so unbelievably moved by this song. It makes me dance, it makes me cry, it fills me with hope.
I love this song so much that I just can't stop listening to it.
Ben Ragunton it
we need this song the world is in so much confusion and darkness . We need the light and the love more than ever in this world !! .
Amen

BEAUTIFUL ! THE LIGHT MUST NEVER GO OUT ! PEACE, LOVE AND HAPPINESS !
As a Jewish mother, I can't help worrying about all those candles in a crowded concert hall.....even though it was 27 years ago!
they were cigarette lighters
There was one thing that the candle lighter was doing wrong. The UNLIT candle is supposed to tilt towards the LIT one. Not the other way around.

One of the best songs-still brings tears to my eyes, for we do so need strength and wisdom to not become our own foes!
Brings tears to my eyes as well.
All of their songs bring tears to my eyes. Used to see them in concert at Westbury Music Theater on LI, NY and cry throughout their concerts.
Best ever Peter, paul,and Mary, Sharing what will be and is.
Peace .No we are not hippies. For All not just some. March in peace. = = = HRC
Let's never forget !
Thank you for sharing this... I've been looking for a version of this video that included the narration at the beginning!
Light one candle for the Maccabee children
With thanks their light didn't die;
Light one candle for the pain they endured
When their right to exist was denied;
Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice
Justice and freedom demand;
And light one candle for the wisdom to know
That the peacemaker's time is at hand!
Chorus:
Don't let the light go out,
It's lasted for so many years!
Don't let the light go out!
Let it shine through our love and our tears!
Light one candle for the strength that we need
To never become our own foe;
Light one candle for those who are suff'ring
A pain they learned so long ago;
Light one candle for all we believe in,
That anger not tear us apart;
And light one candle to bind us together
With peace as the song in our heart!
[Chorus:]
What is the memory that's valued so highly
That we keep it alive in that flame?
What's the commitment to those who have died?
We cry out "they've not died in vain,"
We have come this far, always believing
That justice will somehow prevail;
This is the burden, This is the promise,
This is why we will not fail!
[Chorus:]
Don't let the light go out!
Don't let the light go out!
Don't let the light go out!
don't let the light go out in Parkland, Fl
still relevant (Israel Dec 2023)
My choirs teacher is teaching me this song
love & peace
Love it.
1988
My childhood song!!! Always special
What would They Say Now .? Peter The Hebrew ! Don’t Let The Light Go Out ! Yisroel Chai .

Are any of the children with candles in this video here? If so, how was it being there at the Holiday Concert and singing with Peter, Paul, and Mary?
What does peace look like?
This song reminds me that's I'm still a Jew just liked my greatgrandpal said to me on my porch my greatgrandpal Robert Benjamin Cohen my grandpa's talked about him to me
Light one Candle for the Ukrainian Children...
Now... After all this time this song is screaming into the dark.
I pray that in Moscow those you are in control realize that the Peacemaker's time is at hand.
Particularity poignant right now. 💙💔🤍
