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?

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. 



Round and round the earth is turning.mp3
Oh how lovely is the evening.mp3

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.
