Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Azizi Date: 04 Sep 07 - 07:26 AM Kent, in your 27 Aug 07 - 11:02 PM post, you shared the words to "If You're Happy And You Know It". In spite of it's "say amen!" verse, I associate this song more with pre-school/kindergarten than with church or Bible school. I've always heard {and read} these end lines with each verse of that song: "If you're happy and you know it / then you're face will surely show it/ if you're happy and you know it/ clap your hands * *substitute that verse's action command -snip- Are these lines not part of your memories of this song? |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Azizi Date: 04 Sep 07 - 07:51 AM Fwiw, here are the songs that have been mentioned thus far that I don't remember or haven't heard sung in the churches, Sunday schools {which meet on Sunday before the church service} or Vacation Bible schools {which are conducted by church members for a limited number of weeks in the summer months} that I've attended or my children have attended, or I otherwise know about: * "Running over, running over, my cup's full and running over" * "Sunshine Mountain" * "I May Never March in the Infantry" * "Oil in My Lamp" * "I'm in the Lord's Army" * "Roll the gospel chariot along" * "Booster, booster, be a booster" * "Young folks old folks everybody come Join the "Darkies Sunday school" Was this really a song that was authorized to be sung in church? * "One more river to cross" * "Zacchaeus was a wee little man" * "Over the sea there are little brown children" * "Give me umption in my gumption" * "There Were Twelve Disciples" * "1, 2, 3, The Devil's After Me" and * "Books of the Bible" |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Azizi Date: 04 Sep 07 - 08:00 AM Here's two more songs that I do remember from Vacation Bible School, Sunday School, and church {from 1950s Babtist church [African American], Atlantic City, New Jersey} WE ARE LITTLE WORKERS We are little workers, Cheerful, faithful, strong. Working for our Saviour All the whole day long. Do you think us tiny? Well, we are 'tis true. But we'd like to tell you All that we can do: Sing for Him Pray for Him Work for Him each day. Worship Him Honor Him and His will obey. Give Him love Give Him {grace?] Love His Bible too. Even though we're little folks. That's what we can do. -snip- MY LORD IS SO HIGH {Chorus}: My Lord is so high You can't get over Him. So low You can't get under Him. So wide You can't get around Him. You must come in at the door. {Verse #1}: Some people go by water Some people go by land But if you want to go to heaven Well, you must go hand in hand {Chorus} -snip- I'm sure there are other verses to this song, but I can't remember any other verses. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Mo the caller Date: 04 Sep 07 - 09:25 AM Azizi, I think most of the ones you hadn't heard at Sunday School are sung in England. The first 4 on your list are, also 10 and 11. No. 5 is a line from 3. 12 is a 'silly' verse from 4 6 I've only heard in Shant sessions as 'Roll the old chariot along' 7,13,14,15 I've never heard 8 I heard recently, sung at a church Harvest Supper, by a regular church-goer and church organist. He substituted the words "local Sunday school", because "you aren't allowed to say that sort of thing now"! I thought that many devout Christians would have found the verses offensive, concentrating on the'goings on' in the Bible. And the general tone of the song. 9 We certainly sang, can't remember where. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Kaleea Date: 04 Sep 07 - 10:31 PM I don't know if it was authorized, but the wife of my Grandad's employee at the old auto salvage used to sing it to me. (she referred to herself as colored, not black.) When I was very small, she was singing it, & I asked her what's "darkie." She answered, that's ol' time for colored folks," and went right on singing. My parents took us to a little church in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, called the Beams of Light Tabernacle, until I was about 6. We sang logs of songs about Light in Sunday school, the regular service, and also during vacation Bible school. They are some of my favs. There was one fav which I did not see in print until I was a few decades into adulthood. I only remembered the chorus: Sunlight, sunlight, in my soul today; Sunlight, sunlight, all along the way; Since my Saviour found me and took away my sins; I have had the sunlight of His love within. I sometimes visit a local church which has this in their very old, but wonderful, hymnal. Frogprince, My neice will be 3 in two months, and is a terrific singer. Yes, we still sing your song & like it very much. Thanks! |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Kent Davis Date: 04 Sep 07 - 11:07 PM Azizi, I have ususally heard "If you're happpy and you know it" sung as a VBS song, with the line "if you really want to show it". My wife also knows it as a VBS song, and with the same line. I have rarely heard it as "then your face will surely show it". I wonder if the version you know circulates mainly in schools and the version we know circulates mainly in churches. It could also be a Southern Appalachian thing, since she and I grew up there. Mo the Caller, Thank you. I had been wondering if some of these songs are associated with particular countries. The ones from Azizi's list which I also have never heard are: #1 "Running over, running over, my cup's full and running over" #2 "Sunshine Mountain" #8 "Young folks old folks everybody come" #9 "One more river to cross" #11"Over the sea there are little brown children" You identify these as known in England. However, Genie knew #2 and Kendall knew #8 and #9, so they are apparently not exclusively English. (Genie and Kendall are, I believe, from the U.S.) I hope others will chime in to help determine which songs are best known in which nations. Kent |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: john f weldon Date: 04 Sep 07 - 11:27 PM Joy.... I used to sing... Black & yellow pink & green And all colours in-between... etc... I seem to remember one that went... Mommy told me something that a little girl should know... It's all about the Devil, and I've learned to hate him so... ugh, can't bear to continue with that. But what about .... How would you like to be whiter than snow? Whiter than snow! Whiter than snow! Even in the fifties that seemed pretty racist to me... Agh. Ugh. ogh! Sunday School. A foretaste of hell! |
|
Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Kent Davis Date: 04 Sep 07 - 11:51 PM john f weldon, I appreciate your sensitivity to racism. However, in this particular case, I wonder if it is misplaced. The song to which you refer appears to be based on Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." In other words, the protaganist is not asking to be made more Caucasian, but rather is comparing himself to a stained garment that needs to be bleached. Kent |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,Nana Date: 05 Mar 09 - 10:33 PM I enjoyed reading all the songs. I also grew up singing most of them and now whenever I am taking care of my grandchildren, which is often, I sing with them the church songs of my youth. I have a song for each letter of the alphabet. It has become a favorite time for the grandkids. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,FRANCES.PARRIS Date: 03 Sep 09 - 03:32 PM In Vacation Bible School as a child in Kentucky in 1950's we sang a song that went like this: Vacation Bible School Is Here, Fala La Fala La Fala La........the rest ot it I do not know. It was a very short song, but if anyone remembers it, please give me the Lyrics. My fondest memories are at my church growing up with a deacon Father, and sunday school teaching mother. My love for the church was instilled in me as a child and has never left me. I owe all to my parents, pastors and church for the many wonderful life experiences I have had, but most of all to the Lord. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,EK Anne Date: 03 Sep 09 - 05:01 PM We learned this at the Seaside Missions during summer holidays in the west of Scotland in the early 1950's.
Deep, deep as the deepest sea is my Saviour's love. I'm oh so unworthy - still I'm a child of His care For His word teaches me that His love reaches me everywhere! As far as I was concerned, the religious message was only ever secondary -- the Mission was simply where you went for a good sing! And we also sang The House upon the Rock, and Running Over. |
|
Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Joe_F Date: 03 Sep 09 - 08:37 PM When I was, oh, 11 or so, I went, for a little while, to an elementary school in North Bennington, VT, and that was my first experience with singing in harmony. We sang hymns -- in a public school! Never did me any harm; I was an atheist then & now. In the first meeting of the music class, when we first practiced the parts separately and then sang them together, it made an overwhelming impression on me. Then I went to a highschool where Bach was king, and was corrupted for life. |
|
Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,EK Anne Date: 04 Sep 09 - 03:01 AM Another one from the Seaside Mission -- I will make you fishers of men, fishers of men, fishers of men, I will make you fishers of men if you follow Me; If you follow Me, if you follow Me, I will make you fishers of men if you follow Me. Don't remember if there were any more verses but it was a rollicking tune and I'm sure we could have repeated these lines several times without feeling cheated. The previous post mentioned the joy of communal singing and a little later than the Seaside Mission period I used to go to The Band of Hope with some pals. It was a temperance organisation, which was quite beyond our experience or appreciation -- but between listening to whatever message was delivered (in brief form, thankfully) and watching slide shows of the "cast out to die in the snow by her drunken husband" variety, we also sang lustily such hymns as Onward, Christian Soldiers, and my absolute favourite, which was Yield not to Temptation. I have no idea what I thought this was about at the tender age of eight or so:- Yield not to temptation for yielding is sin. Each victory will help you some other to win. Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue(!) - Look ever to Jesus - He will carry you through. Ask the Saviour to help you, comfort, strengthen and keep you. He is willing to aid you - He will carry you through. But it certainly proves, to me at least, the power of a good tune to foster a sense of community. (The only problem might come if the message becomes too intense/fanatical.) |

Subject: ADD: Yield Not to Temptation From: Joe Offer Date: 04 Sep 09 - 03:45 AM Here's Yield Not to Temptation (click), Anne. Is that the tune you sang it to? I like this version (click) better. -Joe, who sang "Charlie and the MTA" at Catholic church camp- YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION Words & Music: Horatio R. Palmer, 1868 Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin; Refrain Ask the Savior to help you, Shun evil companions, bad language disdain, Refrain To him that o’ercometh, God giveth a crown; Refrain |
|
Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,EK Anne Date: 04 Sep 09 - 06:09 AM Thanks, Joe, for the grand gospel version of Yield Not to Temptation - though it's certainly more of a "performance" than would have been expected in a Presbyterian country like mine! Here, we were encouraged to keep together and harmonies were unheard of, except for church and other choirs, so our version was like your first link, though perhaps a little beefier in tempo. Harking back to a previous post, we also sang at primary school and I remember having to learn quite a lot of psalms and paraphrases by heart, to be sung in unison without benefit of piano accompaniment. Many years later I asked my teacher (from when I was aged 10 and 11) how she had managed to do this as she was not a music specialist, and she could remember the singing but not how we had acquired the songs! These included - the 23rd psalm (to tune Crimond); the Old Hundredth (All People that on Earth Do Dwell); paraphrase 2 (O God of Bethel); psalm 148 (The Lord of Heaven Confess) - which had a difficult but glorious tune; paraphrase 18 (Behold! The Mountain of the Lord); and my own favourite - psalm 121, with its spare melody and convoluted syntax. Amazing how these things still stick with an atheist after more than fifty years... |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,marimary Date: 09 Nov 09 - 10:32 PM Looking for lyrics for an opening VBS anthem that goes something like this: Vacation Bible School is here again To learn about Jesus in story On to Bible School ...........in glory We sing, we play, we make things, In sunshine or in rain We're happy to be here for Vacation Bible School again. Can anyone fill in the missing lines? |

My God is the very best God, the very best God indeed I know that all He does, He does for me He makes the sunshine everyday He say's Salvation is the only way He gave me Jesus as my Christ today He's the very best God for me Oh, Christmas is Jesus's birthday I know that God gave me Him Christmas is Jesus's birthday And Jesus He died for my sins If you like, teach it to your kids.

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Bill D Date: 14 Nov 09 - 01:38 PM from Azizi in 2007---"I'm curious to know if other folks learned "Jesus Loves The Little Children" in their childhood. " I missed this thread 2 years ago, but that is the ONE song I'm sure I learned in Vacation Bible School in Kansas. I was in the 3rd grade, and I know I attached no meaning to the list of colors except the one intended...that everyone was loved equally. I eventually learned several of the other songs mentioned, but not sure which ones were in church, or school or just from songbooks. (there was one about Noah & the Ark that I liked that we sang in Vacation Bible School, but I'm not sure right now which one.) |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,angela Date: 26 Jul 10 - 09:31 PM I am desperately looking for asong to sing with my Pre-k that I remember ( part of...therin lies the problem)from my youth. I know some of the lyrics: Who put the blue in the sky above? Why does the ocean roar? What does a spider do with all those legs? What happens is his feet get sore/ God did, God did. He made the earth and sky God did, God did He knows who what and why Has ANYONE ever heard of this song? I know the tune but not all of the lyrics! Thanks so much! |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Phil Cooper Date: 26 Jul 10 - 09:48 PM No one has mentioned "Only a Boy Named David" about him killing Goliath. My folks had red 45 with the song when we were little (I was born in 1954). Just saw part of a History Channel thing where it appeared that King David would have been up in the Haigh for war crimes and crimes against humanity. I'm thinking that's what every conquering force would have been doing at the time. Can't judge the past be present standards. Sort of lost my faith after the Luther League didn't want me to finger pick some bad Christian re-writes of folks songs (Blowing in the wind=The Answer my Friend is living in all men). No one seems to have missed me. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,lamaner Date: 27 Jul 10 - 12:06 AM "Climb climb up sunshine mountain heavenly breezes blow. Climb climb up sunshine mountain faces all a glow. Turn turn from sin and doubting look into the sky. Climb climb up sunshine mountain you and I." the second verse talked about "Slide slide down gloomy mountain" |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Kent Davis Date: 27 Jul 10 - 10:37 PM Guest, lamaner, Is this the second verse your remember? Don't slide down Gloomy Mountain where the storm clouds blow Don't slide down Gloomy Mountain faces looking so [make a very sour face] Turn, turn from crosspatch pouting, look to God on high. Climb, climb up Sunshine Mountain, you and I. http://threeforthee.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/ A song or version of a song with the title "Don't Slide Down Gloomy Mountain" is attributed to Essie Haynes in SALVATION SONGS FOR CHILDREN, #3, published 1947 in Santa Monica, CA. http://www.hymnary.org/hymn/SSC31947/d8 Kent |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: kendall Date: 28 Jul 10 - 03:54 AM Azizi, no, that song was not sung in the church but in the church's rec. hall. Those sessions were led by the Mormon Minister and at that time no offense or insult was meant. I did'nt even know what we were singing! What I heard was ..chewing gum, erasers at the door! Didn't know until years later the real lyrics. If you recall, in those days there were very few black folks in the Mormon Church.Also at that time, there wasn't a black person within 200 miles of us. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,Patsy Warren Date: 28 Jul 10 - 05:20 AM I remember 'If you're Happy and you know it (clap your hands)(stamp your feet) (shout we are)' It was a good way of getting all that noise and energy out of us kids I think! Harvest Festival was a great time too, I still love this song to this day:- We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land, For it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand, He sends the snow in winter, The warmth to feed the grain, The breezes and the sunshine and soft refreshing rain, All good gifts around us was sent from Heaven above So thank the Lord oh thank the Lord for all his love. This as a 4 year old was not only a nice little song but was one of those occasions in my childhood diary that I looked forward to. I remember ransacking my mother's food cupboard every September so that I could contribute some items of food. This was packaged up as food parcels and delivered to pensioners. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,Forgetful Date: 08 Aug 10 - 10:34 PM Anybody know the name of the song with lyrics something like this: Lion cubs and (i forgot this part) and big fat fuzzy bears. Roly poly elephants leaping with the hares. (Something, something, something...) In fact, the way I hear it, they'll welcome you right in. And just before you know it, you'll be a kid again! I can't remember the rest of the lyrics but the tune is stuck in my head. I sang this one year during vacation bible school over 30 years ago. It is a happy song singing about what heaven will be like. I remember that "the streets are paved in gold". It is a great song. I wish I knew the rest. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated |

Subject: RE: Bible School song, Jesus Gave Her Water From: GUEST,Liz Date: 14 Nov 10 - 11:26 PM I'm looking for the lyrics and music to this Children's Bible song that was sung in the 50's. All that I can remember is, "Jesus gave her water that was not from the well." I'd be most grateful if someone could help me with the rest. Thanks. Liz M. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: Tinker Date: 14 Nov 10 - 11:35 PM Here is one version... I really enjoyed introducing this to a youth gathering this fall He Gave Her Water Words and music: Traditional Well, there was a woman from Samaria She came to the well to get some water It was there she met a stranger And he did her story tell She left my savior singing She came back to him bringing The town to see that water Lord And it was not from the well Chorus: Oh Jesus, he gave her water You know my Jesus gave her water Oh Jesus gave her water And it was not from the well Repeat Chorus Well on that woman he had pity She ran back to the city Crying glory hallelujah I'm gonna let his praises swell Every time she'd doubt him She's stop and think about him The man that gave her living water And it was not from the well Oh, gave her water Jesus gave her water Oh Jesus he gave her water I'm gonna let his praises swell Jesus gave that woman water He gave her that living lasting water Oh, and it was not from the well (Repeat) |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,Ruthann Date: 12 Jan 11 - 06:21 PM Jesus gave her water that was not in the well, gave her living water that was not in the well, she went away singing, she came back bringing others to the water that was not in the well. Just like Nicodemus, you must be born again, just like Nicodemus, you must be born again, he came to Christ at nighttime, he came at the right time. Just like Nicodemus, you must be born again. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,hb Date: 15 Jan 11 - 12:13 AM While the other kids were singing the well-known: "Jesus loves me, this I know, For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong; We are weak but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus loves me, The Bible tells me so". some of us were quietly singing: "Krushchev loves me this I know, For the Kremlin tells me so. Little ones who love him not, All lined up aginst the wall and shot. Yes, Krushchev loves me, Yes, Krushchev loves me, Yes, Krushchev loves me, The Kremlin tells me so". As time went by, "Krushchev" was replaced by "Kosygin". |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,Jane Ann Liston Date: 15 Jan 11 - 05:16 PM I'm a Scot and certainly remember 'Wide, wide as the ocean' , 'Running Over' and 'The wise man built his house upon a rock' (all with actions) and 'I will make you fishers of men, also 'Zacchaeus was a very little man' and 'I don't want to march in the infantry', which sound like versions of songs previously mentioned on this thread. I introduced some of these, with the actions, to children at a London church (high C of E) about 10 years ago, which went down very well! At Scripture Union there were some songs which more than leaned towards pop, with guitar accompaniment to appeal to teenagers, such as 'If any man will follow' and 'Jesus is the Saviour whom I love to know', the latter actually being a twelve bar blues! Back to Sunday School. Let me add to the list 'In my heart there rings a melody', which always led straight on to 'Jesus, Jesus, Jesus', 'Do you want a pilot?' and 'Sailing Home', the last sung sitting down and swaying from side to side, with the object of knocking the child on the end of the row off the bench or pew! And of course, 'When the roll is called up yonder'. All good sings. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,sopranoiam Date: 06 Jun 11 - 03:17 PM Hi....when I was young I learned the Books of the Bible Song to a specific tune. For those of you who have piano here's the basic tune: E3-E3-G3-F3-F3-E3-E3-D3-D3-E3-C3-G2-A2-B2-C3-C3-D3-E3-E3-G3-E3-D3 I have looked and looked and it isn't anywhere. Does anyone out there happen to have that in a kid's music book that may have been published in late 50's or early 60's? That's when I learned it in the Methodist Church growing up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,Susiegee Australia Date: 27 May 13 - 02:51 AM Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, To shine for Him each day. In every way try to help Him, At home, at work at play. A sunbeam, a sunbeam, Jesus wants me for a sunbeam. A sunbeam, a sunbeam, I'll be a sunbeam for Him. and Jesus bids us shine, with a clear, pure light, Like a little candle, glowing in the dark. He looks down from Heaven, to see us shine, You in your small corner, and I in mine. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 27 May 13 - 04:11 PM I remember 'The church's door stands open, the church's door stands wide, and all God's little children can find their way inside.' Also, 'At Easter time, the lilies fair, and lovely flowers bloomed averywhere, at Easter time, at Easter time, hoe glad the world at Easter time.' When we sang 'We plough the fields and scatter' I imagined sowing seed then quickly running away! We were always annoying the Vicar by singing '...but it is fed and wor...hor..tered...'. |

Subject: RE: Bible School songs From: GUEST,Missouri Date: 17 Jun 14 - 09:39 AM I am looking for sheet music to the salute song that we sung in VBS back in the 1970's at our Presbyterian Church in Deepwater. After we pledged allegiance to the bible, christian flag and american flag, we would sing a salute song to each one. Example: Our counties flag we salute today, the colors proudly bare...the emblem of the land we love, we pledge alligence too. God grant us might to uphold the right....(or something like that). Let me know if anyone has it. The internet shows that D.C. Bibighaus had the salute song in 1963...but I can't locate anything else. |
