Candy kisses in the, moonlight
Sugar shoppin' all thru the night
Sippin' milkshakes in, hot sun
Come on sugar drop and give me some
Candy, i got such a sweet tooth
Candy, lemme feed my sweet tooth!
Candy apples in the, hot sun
Choclate milkshakes and we'll have fun
I'm ridin' down the aisle in a shopping cart
I ask my dad, Please, can we get some of these?
He says, you're goin' to the dentist to gethcure teeth cleaned
So you can't have any of those sweets
So we're headed for the check out and i see in a pile
Just what i want, so i give my dad a smile
I ask Daddy please, can we get some of these?
He says you're gonna get cavities!
But i want lollypops and gummybears are my favorite treat
When i'm bein' good, i ask my dad for a sweet
Lollypops and gummybears are good fun treats that i can share
They make me so happy
They makes me so happy
So happy as i can be!
Lollypops and gummybears are my favorite treat
When i'm bein' good, i ask my dad for a sweet
Lollypops and gummybears are good, fun treats that we can share
They make me so happy
They make me so happy
So happy as i can be!
On the good ship lollypop
It's a sweet trip to the candy shop
Where bon bons play
On the sunny beach and peppermint bay
Boom-Boom
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker jack bands fill the air
And there you are
Happy landings on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the Tootise Roll
With a big bad devil's food cake
If you eat too much-ooo-ooo!
You'll get a tummy ache!
On the good ship lollypop
And a nice trip in to bed you'll hop
And dream away
On the good ship lolly-POP!
Oh, I'd rather suck on a lemon drop
Than to try my luck with a lollypop
Cuz a lollypop i always drop
And it gets all over icky
Oh, it, makes me sick by the way it smears
It gets all over my hair and ears
With a lemon drop i'm always clean
But a lollypop, oh icky
Iv'e tried and tried but still i can't find
A lollypop, that's half way refind
So, id, rather suck on a lemon drop
Than to try my luck with a lollypop
Cuz a lollypop i always drop
And it gets all over icky
Icky
Icky, Icky, YUCK!
The Cupboard
I know a little cupboard with a teeny tiny key
And there's a jar of lollypops, for me, me, me
It has a little shelf my dear, as dark as dark can be
And there's a dish of banberry cakes, for me, me, me
I have a small fat grand-ma-ma, with a very slippery knee
And she's keeper of the cupboard with the key, key, key
And when i'm very good my dear, as good as good can be
There's banberry cakes and lollypops, for me, me, me!
Animal Crackers and Cocoa
Animal crakers and cocoa to drink
That is the finest of suppers i think
When i'm grown up and can have what i please
I think i shall always insist upon these
What do YOU choose when you're offered a treat?
When mother says, What would you like best to eat?
Is it waffles and syrup, or cinnamon toast?
It's cocoa and animals that i love the most!
The kitchen's the coziest place that I know
The kettle is singing, the stove is aglow
And there in the twilight, how jolly to see
The cocoa and animals waiting for me!
Daddy and Mother dine later in state
With Mary to cook for them, Susan to wait
But they don't have nearly as much fun as I,
Who eat in the kitchen with nurse standing by
And Daddy once said, he would like to be me
Having cocoa and animals once more for tea!
Once Mother said, My litle pet
You ought to learn your alphabet
So in my soup I used to get
All the letters of the alphabet
I learned them all from A to Z
And now my Mother's giving me-
Animal crackers in my soup
Monkeys and rabbits loop da loop
Gosh oh gee but I have fun
Swallowing animals one by one
In every bowl of soup I see
Lions and Tigers watching me
I make 'em jump right through a hoop
Those animal crackers in my soup!
Have you ever heard of the Sugar Plum Tree?
'Tis a marvel of great renown!
It blooms on the shore of the Lollypop Sea
In the garden of Shut-Eye Town
The fruit that it bears is so wondrously sweet
(As those who have tasted it say)
That good little children have only to eat Of that fruit to be happy next day.
When you've got to the tree, you would have a hard time
To capture the fruit which I sing
The tree is so tall that no person could climb
To the boughs where the sugar-plums swing!
But up in that tree sits a chocolate cat
And a ginger bread dog prowls below
And this is the way you contrive to get at
Those sugar-plums tempting you so-
You say but the word to that gingerbread dog
And he barks with such a terrible zest
That the chocolate cat is at once all agog
As her swelling proportions attest
And the chocolate cat goes covorting around
From this leafy limb unto that
And the sugar-plums tumble, of course, to the ground-
Hurray for that chocolate cat!
There are marshmallows, gumdrops, and peppermint canes
With striping of scarlet and gold
And you carry away of the treasure that rains
As much as your apron can hold!
So come, little child, cuddle closer to me
In your dainty white nightcap and gown
And I'll rock you away to the Sugar Plum Tree
In the garden of Shut-Eye Town.
Grandpa Dropped His Glasses
Grandpa dropped his glasses, in a pot of dye
And when he put them on again, he saw a purple sky!
Purple fires were rising up, from a purple hill
Men were grinding purple cider, at a purple mill
Purple Adeline was playing, with a purple doll
Little purple dragon flies, were crawling up the wall
And at the supper table, he got crazy as a loon
From eating purple apple dumplings, with a purple spoon!
General Prayers

The Magic Penny Song
Love is something that you give away
Give away
Give away
Love is something that you give away
You'll end up having more!
It's just like a magic penny
Hold on tight and you won't have any
Give it away and you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor!
Come and go with me
To my Father's house

In my Father's house
In my Father's house
In my Father's House
Will I meet you there, in my Father's house?
Where there's joy, joy, joy
Tell me the stories of Jesus, I love to hear
Things I would ask Him to tell me, if He were here
Scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea,
Stories of Jesus, tell them to me.
First let me hear how the children, stood round His knee
And I shall fancy His blessing resting on me
Words full of kindness, deeds full of grace
All in the love light of Jesus’ face
At the feet of Jesus
Listening to His word
Learning wisdom’s lesson
From her loving Lord
Mary, led by heavenly grace
Chose the meek disciple’s place
At the feet of Jesus
Is the place for me
There a humble learner
Would I choose to be

Six little ducks that i once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too
But the one little duck, with the feather on his back
He led the others with a quack quack quack
Quack Quack Quack!
He led the others with a quack quack quack!
Down to the river they would come
Wibble wobble wibble wobble ho hum hum
But the one little duck, with the feather on his back

He led the others with a quack quack quack!
Down to the river they would go

Splish splish, I was takin' a bath
All about a Saturday night!
A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright
Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me and I opened the door, and then I...
Splish, splash... I jumped back in the bath! Well how was I to know there was a party going on!
(Tune:Lollypop)

The Wedding of Jack and Jill
Now the boy was Jack and the girl was Jill
The story's old but they tell it still
Of the way they tumbled down a hill
On a sunny day in May
But there's something more, you never heard
An owl told me, he's a wise old bird
And he told this story word for word
All about their wedding day
Oh the bride wore a gown of moon beams
With a ruffle and a frill
And the happy young groom wore a velvet plume
At the wedding of Jack and Jill
Little boy blue all alone and blue
Sat right down and cried
While ol' King Cole and his Fiddlers 3
Played "Here Comes The Bride"
Oh the bride wore a gown of moon beams
With a ruffle and a frill
And the happy young groom wore a velvet plume
At the wedding of Jack and Jill
Ding, dong, dell
Ding, dong, ding, dong
And the 3 little pigs were dancing
And the 3 blind mice were throwing rice
At the wedding of Jack and Jill
Ding, dong, dell
Ding dong, ding, dong
How they laughed at the bride and bride groom
Cause they're tumblin' down the hill
The farmer in the dell rang the old church bell
At the wedding of Jack and Jill!
Bedtime Prayers
Now i lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Guide me through the starry night
And wake me when the sunshine's bright
I Jesus' name we pray, Amen
Evening Prayer
Thank you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ
Your dear Son, that You have graciously kept me this day
And I pray that You would forgive me all my sins
Where I have done wrong
And graciously keep me this night
For in to your hands i commend myself
My body, and soul, and all things
Let your holy angels be with me
That the evil foe may have no power over me
Amen
My God, is any hour so sweet
From blush of morn to evening star,
As that which calls me to Thy feet—
The hour of prayer?
Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore
No privilege so dear shall be
As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to Thee.
Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, as small as I may be
For me a blood bought free reward, a golden harp for me!
’Tis strung and tuned for endless years, and formed by power divine
To sound in God the Father’s ears no other name but Thine!
Escape at Bedtime
The lights from the parlor and kitchen shone out
Through the blinds and the windows and bars
And high overhead and all moving about
There were thousands of millions of stars
There ne'er were such thousands of leaves on a tree
Nor of people in church or the Park
As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me
And that glittered and winked in the dark
The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all,
And the star of the sailor, and Mars,
These shown in the sky, and the pail by the wall
Would be half full of water and stars.
They saw me at last, and they chased me with cries
And they soon had me packed into bed
But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes
And the stars going round in my head.
The Fly Away Horse
Oh, a wonderful horse is the Fly-Away Horse, perhaps you have seen him before
Perhaps, While you slept, his shadow has swept thru the moonlight that floats on the floor
For it's only at night, when the stars twinkle bright, that the Fly-Away Horse, with a neigh
And a pull at his rein and a toss of his mane is up on his heels and away!
The Moon in the sky, as he gallopeth by cries, "Oh! what a marvellous sight!"
And the Stars in dismay, hide their faces away, in the lap of old Grandmother Night
It is yonder, out yonder, the Fly-Away Horse, speedeth ever and ever away
Over meadows and lanes, over mountains and plains, over streamlets that sing at their play
And over the seal like a ghost sweepeth he, while the ships they go sailing below
And he speedeth so fast that the men at the mast, adjudge him some portent of woe
"What ho there!" they cry, As he flourishes by, with a whisk of his beautiful tail
And the fish in the sea, are as scared as can be
From the nautilus up to the whale!
And the Fly-Away Horse seeks those far-away lands, you little folk dream of at night
Where candy-trees grow, and honey-brooks flow, and corn-fields with popcorn are white
And the beasts in the wood are ever so good, to children who visit them there
What glory astride of a lion to ride, or to wrestle around with a bear!
The monkeys, they say, "Come on, let us play," and they frisk in the coconut-trees
While the parrots, that cling, to the peanut-vines sing
Or converse with comparative ease!
Off! scamper to bed - you shall ride him to-night!, for, as soon as you've fallen asleep
With a jubilant neigh he shall bear you away, over forest and hillside and deep!
But tell us, my dear, all you see and you hear, in those beautiful lands over there
Where the Fly-Away Horse wings his far-away course, with the wee one consigned to his care
Then grandma will cry, in amazement Oh, my!, and she'll think it could never be so
And only we two, shall know it is true
You and I, little precious! shall know!
Wynken, Blynken, and Nodd one nite ,sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed on a river of crystal lite, into a sea of dew.
Where are you going and what do you wish?, the old moon asked the three
We have come to fish for the herring fish, that live in this beautiful sea
Nets of silver and gold have we! Said Wynken, Blynken, & Nodd.
The old moon laughed and sang a song, as they rocked in the wooden shoe
And the wind that sped them all nite long, Ruffled the waves of dew
The little stars were the herrings fish, that lived in that beautiful sea
Now cast your nets wherever you wish, never afeared are we!
So cried the stars to the fisherman three, Wynken, Blynken, & Nodd.
All nite long their nets they threw to the stars in the twinkling foam
Then down came the skies came the wooden shoe, bringing the fisherman home
T'was all so pretty a sail it seemed, as if it could not be
And some folks thought 't was a dream they 'd dream, of sailing that beautiful sea
But I shall name you the fishermen three: Wynken, Blynken, & Nodd.
Now, Wynken and Blynken are 2 little eyes, and Nodd is a little head
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies, is a wee one's trundle bed
So shut your eyes while mommy sings, Of wonderful sights that be
And you shall see the beautiful things, as you rock in the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fisherman 3, Wynken, Blynken, and Nodd.
Red Sun
When the red sun sets on the railroad town
And the bars begin to laugh, with a happy sound
I'll still be here ,right by your side
There'll not be anyone in my heart but you.
And the dreams that you're havin', they won't let you down
If you just follow on , cause you know where you're bound
The well will be flowin', and the words will come fast
When the one who is comin', arrives here at last
On the grassy hills of the railroad town
Where we cut through the fences, and over the crown
Where wind was blowin', right through your hair,
I dreamt that my Momma and Daddy were there

O, my baby
My curly headed baby
Will sit below the sky
And sing a song to the moon
O my baby
My pretty little baby
Your Daddy's in the cotton fields
Workin' all day long
So la la la la la la la la bye bye
You'll want the moon to play with
The stars to run away with
There'll come if you don't cry
So la la la la la la la la bye bye
In Mommy's (Grandma's, Auntie's) arms be creeping
And soon you'll be a' sleepin'
A-la la la la la la la la la

Skeeter's 'a hummin, in the honeysuckle vine
Sleep my little babe
Sandman is 'a comin'
To this little baby mine
Sleep little babe
Silvr'y moon is shinin' in the Heaven up above
Bobolink is pinin' for his little lady love
You are mighty pretty, you are mighty sweet
Close your eyes in sleep
Fly away
Fly away my little Babe
Fly away to nap
Fly away
Lay your little curly head
On your Mommy's (Daddy's) lap
Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm-mmmm
Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm-mmmm
Close your eyes in sleep.
I see the moon and the moon sees me
God bless the moon and God bless me
God bless the ships that sail the sea
May the wind blow them safely right back to rock me
Bless Mommy and Daddy and Teddy and toys
And all of the children, the world's girls and boys
Bless every star that twinkles at night
And wrap your arms 'round me til sunshine is bright
Amen
The man in the moon, looked out of the mooon
And this is what he said
"Tis time that now i'm getting up
All babies went to bed"
The Backwards Song
I climbed up the door and opened the stairs,
Said my pajamas and put on my prayers,
Then I turned off the bed and crawled into the light
All because you kissed me goodnight!
Next morning I woke up and scrambled my shoes
Picked up my eggs and toasted the news
I couldn't tell my left from right
All because you kissed me goodnight!
That evening at last I felt normal again,
So I picked up my mother and called the phone,
I spoke to the puppy and threw Dad a bone,
Even at midnight the sun was still bright,
All because you kissed me goodnight!
Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight
And my boat and I are ready to set sail
If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight
As I skip across the waves my sails are high and full
My mind is on the one I wait to see
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind
Where someday I will take her off with me.
Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow
I see a lady on the side
But she will wait no more as I head for the shore
Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride
And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together
With the rocking of the water
And dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me
I have a little sailboat
And i'm going to sea
I'll follow all the seagulls
Til there's no one there but me
I'll sail into the sun
Til i run out of food
Then i'll turn my sailboat
And i'll come home to you
I'm going to be a sailor
The world i'll explore
Somewhere there is an island
That t'was never found before
And when i find my island
So shiny and new
I'm dream about my sailboat
And i'll sail back to you.
Dark brown is the river, and golden is the sand
It flows along for ever, with trees on either hand
Green leaves a-floating, castles of the foam
Boats of mine a-boating--where will all come home?
On goes the river , and on past the mill
Away down the valley, away down the hill
Away down the river, a hundred miles or more
Other little children shall bring my boats ashore.
Oh, that old ship of Zion
Oh, that old ship of Zion
Oh, that old ship of Zion
It is good enough for me
It was good enough for Grandma
It was good enough for Grandma
It was good enough for Grandma
It was good enough for me
It will take us all to Heaven
It will take us all to Heaven
It will take us all to Heaven
And it's good enough for me
Sleep Song
When you were asleep I was kissing your forehead
You gave a frown, so I kissed you again
You started waking and put your arms round my waist
Just making sure I was there
Then you drifted away, then you drifted away
And when I awoke
I found out I'd been dreaming ,I looked around-
And when I return
I will kiss your eyes open, and I'll lie by your side
Then I will wait, til the sandman is done with you
And as you sleepily rise
You'll find I'll be there, you'll find I'll be there
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
The rabbits play no more
The little birds are weary
The buttercups are folded up
Good night, good night, my deary
The children in the country
The children in the city,
Go to their beds, with nodding heads
Good night, good night, my pretty.
I am Jesus’ little lamb
Ever glad at heart I am!
For my Shepherd gently guides me,
Knows my needs, and well provides me,
Loves me every day the same,
Even calls me by my name!
Kindergarden, 5 years old
You and me and mother goose
Learning lines to nursery rhymes
That's when i fell in love with you
Back when it was 1,2 Buckle my shoe
3,4 shut the door
5,6 pick up sticks, even then my heart was yours
A little girl, a little boy
Playing on a swing in the yard
As i watch you hold my hand
And you're still holding on to my heart
And now it's 1,2 I Love You
3,4 let's have one more
5,6 I wouldn't miss a day of this
For all the treasure on the ocean floor
5,6, kiss after kiss, I can't wait to hold you once more.
Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight
Make me a child again just for tonight
Mother, come back from the echoless shore
Take me again to your heart as of yore;
Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep-
Rock me to sleep, mother,—rock me to sleep!
Mother, dear mother, the years have been long
Since I last listened to your lullaby song
Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem
Manhood's years have been only a dream
Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace
With your light lashes just sweeping my face
Never hereafter to wake or to weep-
Rock me to sleep mother—rock me to sleep!
There is a young cowboy, who lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companion
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
And as the moon rises he sleeps by his fire
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
And closing his eyes as the dogies, retire
He sings out a song which is soft but its clear
As if maybe someone could hear..
So goodnight, you moonlight ladies
Rock a bye Sweet Baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rock a bye Sweet Baby James
Now the first of December, was covered with snow
So was the turnpike from Stockridge to Boston
Lord, the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frostin'
With ten miles behind me, and ten thousand more to go
There's a song that they sing when they take to the hiways
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can belive it, if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me
Refrain
After the Goldrush
Well i dreamed i saw the knight's in armor comin'
Sayin' somethin' about a King
There were peasants singin, and drummers drummin'
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun ,that was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run, in the nineteen-seventeen
I was lying in a burned out basement ,with the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement, when the sun burst thru the skies
There was a band playing in my head, and i felt like i could cry
I was thinkin' about what a friend had said, I was hopin' it was a lie
Well i dreamed i saw the silver spaceships flyin'
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children cryin' and banners flyin'
All around the Chosen One
All in a dream, all in a dream ,the loading had begun
Flying mother nature's silver seed, to a new home in the sun
Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun.
In Xanadu did Kublai Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills
Where blossom'd many an incense-bearing tree
And here were forests as ancient as the hills
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves
It was a miracle of rare device
A sunny pleasure dome with caves of ice
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw
It was a maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of mount Abora
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song.
To such a deep delight 'twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air!
Thy sunny dome! Those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there!
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes! his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread!
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
Dancin' when the stars go blue
Dancin' when the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown
Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' with the marionette
Are ya happy now?
Where do you go when you're lonely?
Where do you go when you're blue?
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you when the stars go blue
Stars go blue, stars go blue
Stars go blue!
We shall meet, but we shall miss Him
There will be one vacant chair
We shall linger to caress Him
Til we breathe our evening prayer
Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee
Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Amen.
God be with you til we meet again-
We shall meet, we shall meet
We shall meet at Jesus' feet
We shall meet, we shall meet
Oh, God be with you til we meet again
Safely thru another week
God has brought us on our way
Let us now a blessing seek
Gathered in his courts today
Day of all, the week the best
Emblem of eternal rest
Day of all, the week the best
Emblem of eternal rest
All to Jesus, I surrender
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine
Let me feel the Holy Spirit
Truly know that Thou art mine
Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by! Amen!
Create in me a clean heart, Oh God
And renew a right spirit within me
Cast me not away from Thy precense
And take not Thy holy spirit from me
Restore unto, the joy, of Thy salvation
And uphold me with Thy free spirit
Amen.
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul
Iv'e got joy like a fountain...
I've got love like an ocean
In my soul
Green, Green, it's green they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, Green, i'm goin' away
To where the grass is greener still
Yeah i don't care when the sun goes down
Where i lay my weary head
Green green valley or a rocky road
It's there i'm gonna make my bed
Green, Green, it's green they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, Green, i'm goin' away
To where the grass is greener still
To where the grass is greener still..
To where the grass is greener still...
Let me learn of Jesus
He is kind to me
One he died to save me
Nailed upon a tree
I will trust in Jesus
I will do His will
Then i shall be happy
Safe from every ill
When i go to Jesus
He will hear me pray
Make me pure and holy
Take my sins away
When i go to Jesus
He will hold my hand
And at last receive me
To a better land.
Amen
The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking,
The wind through it playing its language for me
Whenever the light through its branches is breaking
A host of kind faces is gazing on me
The friends of my childhood again are before me
Each step wakes a memory as freely I roam
With soft whispers laden its leaves rustle o'er me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home.

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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Star lite, Star brite
First star, i see tonite
I wish i may, i wish i might
Have the wish, i wish tonite
I wish...
I wish for God to bless Mommy and Daddy, and me
And all the pretty things in the world to see
And trucks and planes and trees
And dolls and babies and honey bees
And my bed and blanket and comfy sheets
And birds and balloons and parakeets!
And all the cute girls, and all the sweet boys
Who live in the world
And for all our joy
Amen
Swingin' On A Star!
Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long, funny ears
He kicks up his rear at anything he hears
His back is scrawny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And if you hate to go to school
Would you rather be a mule?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He ain't got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
If you dont care a feather or a fig
Would you rather be a pig?
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
He cant write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
Though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
Would you like to be a fish?
And all the monkeys arent in a zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see its all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swinging on a star!
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dreams
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothin' but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the Everlasting Arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it-
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
Oh believe I can fly
See, i was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence, can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me,
Oh,If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar I see me runnin' through that open door
I believe I can fly
(I can fly i can fly) I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

The prayer went over the mountain
The prayer went over the mountain
The prayer went over the mountain
And up to Christ our Lord
And up to Christ our Lord
And up to Christ our Lord
The prayer went over the mountain
The prayer went over the mountain
The prayer went over the mountain
And all the angels heard!
The prayer went over the bedspread
The prayer went over the bedspread
The prayer went over the bedspread
It was Jesus' sacred word
Was Jesus' sacred word
Was Jesus' sacred word
The prayer went over the bedspread
The prayer went over the bedspread
The prayer went over the bedspread
And up to Christ our Lord!

Tell me why the ivy twine
Tell me why the sky is blue

Savior, like a shepherd lead us
Much we need Thy tender care
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us
For our use Thy folds prepare
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!

And we must love him too
And trust in His redeeming blood
And try his works to do
