Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Simple Gifts

'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,

And when we find ourselves in the place just right,

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

For the glory of the skies,

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies.

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man,

Bake me a cake as fast as you can.

And put it in the oven for baby and me.

One, two, buckle my shoe,

Three, four, shut the door,

Seven, eight, lay them straight,

Nine, ten, a good fat hen.

Rain, rain, go away,

Come again another day.

Little children want to play,

Rain, rain, go away.

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockle shells,

And pretty maids all in a row.

Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush

Here we go round the mulberry bush,

The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush.

Here we go round the mulberry bush,

So early in the morning.

This is the way we wash our clothes,

Wash our clothes, wash our clothes.

This is the way we wash our clothes,

So early Monday morning.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy bitsy spider

Went up the water spout.

Down came the rain

And washed the spider out.

Out came the sun

And dried up all the rain,

And the itsy bitsy spider

Went up the spout again.

Lavender's green.

When I am king, dilly dilly,

You shall be queen.

Good Morning, Dear Earth

Good morning, dear Sun,

Good morning, dear stones,

And flowers every one.

Good morning, dear beasts,

And birds in the tree,

Good morning to you,

Good morning to me.

Earth who gives to us this food,

Sun who makes it ripe and good,

Dear Earth, dear Sun, by you we live,

Our loving thanks to you we give.

Little candle burning bright,

Thank you for your golden light.

Keep our table warm and blessed,

Bring our evening gently rest.

Oats, Peas, Beans, and Barley Grow

Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow,

Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow.

Do you or I or anyone know

How oats, peas, beans, and barley grow?

First the farmer sows his seed,

Then he stands and takes his ease,

Stamps his foot and claps his hands,

And turns around to view the land.

The More We Get Together

The more we get together,

Together, together,

The more we get together,

The happier we'll be.

For your friends are my friends,

And my friends are your friends.

The more we get together,

The happier we'll be.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,

Each little bird that sings,

He made their glowing colors,

He made their tiny wings.

All Through the Night

Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee,

All through the night.

Guardian angels God will send thee,

All through the night.

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,

Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,

I my loving vigil keeping,

All through the night.

Sleep, Baby, Sleep

Sleep, baby, sleep,

Your father tends the sheep.

Your mother shakes the dreamland tree,

And from it fall sweet dreams for thee.

Sleep, baby, sleep.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.
