Would any Jewish Mumsnetters be able to help me find a song?

I belong to a Christian church and next year is our centenary year. One of the things that we are doing to celebrate that is to put on a play depicting the last 24 hours of Christ's life.

The first scene will be the supper at the Passover and I would like the gathering to be singing as the food is put on the table.

Can anyone suggest something that would be easy for a dozen men who aren't Hebrew speakers or professional singers, to sing?

You tube links and lyrics would be very much appreciated - or even someone saying that I'm totally wrong!

Many thanks in advance.

I'd go for Dayenu (English version ) I'm not Jewish but my father-in-law is and he can do a great version of this. Very easy to join in. The Hebrew version is great, they could learn the lyrics?

My experience of Christian depictions of a Seder is that it's all very solemn, quiet and reverent, as that's the Christian association of holy communion. But a Seder should be a fun time, pretty noisy and lively. It must look very odd to Jewish eyes to see the 'Last Supper' with men only there - if there is a definition of a family event, the Seder is surely it.

Sorry Lilibet I'm trying to seem as if I know Jewish culture well which I don't, I just have a little bit of experience.
