Thread Name: Bible School songs
Subject: RE: Folklore: Bible School songs
Azizi,

I think my mother taught us "Jesus Loves the Little Children", but we also sang it in Bible school. "The ink is black", copyright 1956, by David Arkin and Earl Robinson, was apparently popularized by "Three Dog Night". It is indeed about the races working together, but isn't really a church song.

Kaleea,

It was probably 1980 before I heard "Praise Ye the Lord". Does anyone know how old it is?   

Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Praise ye the Lord,
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Praise ye the Lord, Praise ye the Lord
Hallelujah
Praise ye the Lord, Hallelujah
Praise ye the Lord, Hallelujah
Praise ye the Lord!
