About Adir Hu

Words: traditional Hebrew hymn of the Passover Haggadah

Tune: traditional

Adir Hu, "Mighty is He", is a song of the Passover Seder. The earliest known printing of its tune, in an early form, is in a Haggadah in Hebrew, Latin and German that J. S. Rittangel published in 1644. Our tune and words are read from the Union Haggadah of 1923, in C as printed, and the four parts are our own. It is sung in Hebrew, transliterated, for 2 to 4 singers: the book's three short verses, which take their names for God from across the hymn's eight stanzas, each praising God and asking Him to build His house soon, in our days. It is sung with the substituted name customary when singing outside prayer: Kel, for El.
