== History of the Niggun ==
The lyrics were composed by Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Kagan in the 5730s (1970s), and were set to a march melody that originated with Polish Chassidim. The song was composed in Camp Gan Israel in Montreal and a record was distributed under its name with additional songs, performed by the Tzlil V'Zemer choir.

The first time this niggun was sung before the Rebbe was during the Purim farbrengen of 5736 (1976). In many farbrengens afterward, the Rebbe strongly encouraged it.

In 5779 (2019), the Tzivos Hashem choir performed the niggun at the 11 Nissan gathering in a new arrangement.

In 5784 (2024), Moshe Laufer, in his fifth album of Chabad niggunim, performed the niggun with the addition of a Hebrew translation.
