2024 Honor Choir Songs
The Star Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

High ho, the boatmen row. Floatin’ down the river, the Ohio.
The boatmen dance, the boatmen sing,
The boatmen up to ev’rything.
And when the boatmen get to shore,
They spend their money and work for more.
Then dance the boatmen, dance, O dance the boatmen dance.
They dance all night and go home in the mornin’.
High ho, the boatmen row. Floatin’ down the river, the Ohio.
I went on board the other day;
The boatmen all were hard at play.
But when I joined in and cut loose,
They tossed me into the calaboose.
Then dance the boatmen, dance, O dance the boatmen dance.
They dance all night and go home in the mornin’.
A boatman is a clever man;
There’s none can do like a boatman can.
I’ve never seen a pretty gal in my life,
But that she wasn’t a boatman’s wife.
Then dance the boatmen dance, O dance the boatmen dance.
They dance all night and go home.
Then dance the boatmen dance, O dance the boatmen dance.
They dance all night and go home in the mornin’.
High ho, the boatmen row. Floatin’ down the river, the Ohio.
My heart sings a melody, An everlasting melody,
A tune of love, a song of peace, An anthem that sets me free.
Just when I think there’s no song to sing, I hear a melody that is everlasting.
Everlasting melody!
(repeat)
Everlasting melody! A melody that will last always.
Everlasting melody! A melody that lives on and on.
Just when I think there’s no song to sing, I hear a melody that is everlasting.
Everlasting melody!
Everlasting melody! Everlasting melody!
My heart sings a melody, A tune of love, a song of peace,
An anthem that sets me free.
Oh, just when I think there’s no song to sing, I hear a melody that is everlasting.
Everlasting melody!
Everlasting melody! Oh everlasting melody!
Just when I think there’s no song to sing, I hear a melody that is everlasting.
Everlasting melody! Melody!
Last Year's Songs
Manx Lullaby
Oh hush thee my dove, oh hush thee my rowan,
Oh hush thee my lapwing my little brown bird.
Oh hush thee my dove, oh hush thee my rowan,
Oh hush thee my lapwing my little brown bird.
Oh fold thy wings and seek thy nest now,
Oh shine the berry on the bright tree.
The bird is home from the mountain and valley.
Oh ho ro hi ri- ri Ca dul gu lo
Oh ho ro hi ri- ri Ca dul gu lo
Oh fold thy wings and seek thy nest now,
Oh shine the berry on the bright tree.
The bird is home from the mountain and valley.
Oh ho ro hi ri- ri Ca dul gu lo
Oh ho ro hi ri- ri Ca dul gu lo
Shine on Me
Shine on me. Shine on me.
I wonder if the lighthouse will shine on me.
Oh, shine on me. Shine on me.
I wonder if the lighthouse will shine on me.
Is a light shinin’ above?
Is it shinin’ above in the heavens for me?
I’m wonderin’, wonderin’, wonderin’ if there’s a light
That is shinin’ above in the heavens for me.
Oh, is a light shinin’ above?
Is it shinin’ above in the heavens for me?
I’m wonderin’, wonderin’, wonderin’ if there’s a light that will shine on me.
Will it shine on me?
Oh, shine on me. Shine on me.
I wonder if the lighthouse will shine on me.
Oh, shine on me. Shine on me.
I wonder if the lighthouse will shine on me.
Will it shine on me?
Folk Song Collection
Round and Round the Earth is Turning
Round and round the earth is turning,
Turning always into morning.
And from morning into night.
Oh How Lovely is the Evening
Oh how lovely is the evening, is the evening,
When the bells are sweetly ringing, sweetly ringing,
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong.
Morning is Come
Come sleepy heads,
Open your eyes.
Bright sun is shining and blue are the skies.
Jump out of bed,
do not delay.
Don’t want to dawdle on such a fine day.
I Want to Share My Joy with All
When the weather is gloomy, and the wind is strong,
When no one is near, and I sit all alone,
I sing my song, I raise my voice, and I smile with joy.
The joy of music and singing with friends, The joy of laughter and making memories,
The joy of helping others when they fall, I want to share my joy with all, my joy with all.
When the day is perfect, and all’s going well,
When birds are chirping, and the sky is clear,
I sing my song for someone in pain, and I share my joy.
The joy of music and singing with friends, The joy of laughter and making memories,
The joy of helping others when they fall, I want to share my joy with all,
I share my joy (I share my joy)
I share my joy (I share my joy)
I share my joy (I share my joy)
The joy of music and singing with friends, (The joy of laughter)
The joy of laughter and making memories,
The joy of helping others when they fall, (I want to share)
I want to share my joy with all, (I want to share)
The joy of music and singing with friends, The joy of laughter and making memories,
The joy of helping others when they fall,
I want to share my joy with all,
I want to share my joy with all,
I want to share my joy with all,
with all.
