Fire's Burning (4 parts)


Fire's burning,
Fire's burning,
Draw nearer,
Draw nearer,
In the glowing,
In the glowing,
Come sing and be merry.

 

Frog Round

Hear the lively song

Of the frogs in yonder pond
crik, crik, crikkety crik,
Brrrr....uh

 

Rise Up, Oh Flame

This song is to be sung until the fire gets going at a campfire or ceremony


Rise up, oh flame
By thy light glowing
Show to us beauty
Vision and joy

 

Rose
Rose, rose, rose, rose
Shall I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will
Sire, att thy will

Ding-dong, ding-dong
Wedding bells on an April morn
Carve your name on a moss-covered stone
On a moss-covered stone

Love, love, love, love
Christians, this is your call
Love thy neighbour as thy self
For God loves us all

This verse is a replacement to the second verse of Rose. Usually, only one person sings this song along with everyone else singing Rose the regular way.


Oh Poor Bird
Take thy flight
High above the sorrows
Of this sad night

 

 

The Doxology


Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise him all creatures here below,
Praise him above all heavenly hosts,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

 

Johnny Appleseed


Oh, the Lord is good to me.
And now I thank the Lord,
for giving me the things I need:
the sun and the rain and the apple tree.
Oh, the Lord is good to me.
Amen.

 

Linger


(hmm) I want to linger
(hmm) a little longer
(hmm) a little longer here with you.

(hmm) It's such a perfect night,
(hmm) It doesn't seem quite right
(hmm) That this should be my last with you.

(hmm) And in September
(hmm) I will remember
(hmm) My camping days and friendships true.

(hmm) And as the years go by
(hmm) I'll think of you and sigh,
(hmm) This is goodnight and not goodbye.

(hmm) I want to linger
(hmm) a little longer
(hmm) a little longer here with you.

 

Taps

Day is done; gone the sun,
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky.
All is well, safely rest.
God is nigh.

Fading light dims the sight,
And a star lights the sky, gleaming bright;
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise for our days
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the sky;
As we go, this we know:
God is nigh.
