Chervona Ruta

Ty pryznajsya meni,

Zvidky v tebe ti chary,

Ya bez tebe vsi dni

U poloni pechali.

Mozhe, des" u lisax

Ty char-zillya shukala,

Sonce-rutu znajshla

I mene zcharuvala!

Chervonu rutu ne shukaj vechoramy —

Ty u mene yedyna, til'ky ty, povir.

Bo tvoya vroda to ye chystaya voda,

To ye bystraya voda synix hir.

Bachu ya tebe v snax,

U dibrovax zelenyx,

Po zabutyx stezhkax

Ty pryxodysh do mene.

I ne treba nesty

Meni kvitku nadiyi,

Bo davno uzhe ty

Uvijshla v moyi mriyi

Chervonu rutu ne shukaj vechoramy —

Ty u mene yedyna, til'ky ty, povir.

Bo tvoya vroda to ye chystaya voda,

To ye bystraya voda synix hir

How Can I Keep from Singing?

SHEET MUSIC

My life goes on in endless song above earth's lamentation

I catch the sweet though far off hymn that hails a new creation.

No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I'm clinging

Since love is lord of heav'n and earth, how can I keep from singing?

Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing,

It finds an echo in my soul, how can I keep from singing?

No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I'm clinging

Since love is lord of heav'n and earth, how can I keep from singing?

When tyrants tremble sick with fear, and hear their death-knell ringing,

When friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing?

In prison cell and dungeon vile, our thoughts to them go winging

When friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing?

Hunger

Sheet music

This song repeats the following phrases over and over:

Hung-er pains swol-len belly (repeat)

Build a bigger table, build a bigger table, build a bigger table, build a bigger table

Tenors: Use the wood that is a lyin’ out in the bar. (repeat)

Sopranos: No more chairs! Use benches!

Yes there’s room for everyone at this table. Build a table, a bigger table!

I'll Fly Away

Lyrics Sheet

Some glad morning when this life is o'er, I'll fly away.

To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away.

I'll fly away oh glory, I'll fly away

When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have grown, I'll fly away.

Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I'll fly away.

I'll fly away oh glory, I'll fly away

When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away.

To a land where joys shall never end, I'll fly away.

I'll fly away oh glory, I'll fly away

When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory, I'll fly away

When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

Into the West

Sheet music

Lay down

Your sweet and weary head

Night is falling

You have come to journey’s end

Sleep now

Dream of the ones who came before

They are calling

from across the distant shore

Why do you weep

What are those tears upon your face

Soon you will see

All of your fears will pass away

Safe in my arms

You’re only sleeping

What can you see

On the horizon

Why do the white gulls call

Across the sea

A pale moon rises

The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn to silver glass

A light on the water

All souls pass

Hope fades

Into the world of night

Through shadows falling

Out of memory and time

Don’t say

We have come now to the end

White shores are calling

You and I will meet again

And you’ll be here in my arms

Just sleeping

What can you see

On the horizon

Why do the white gulls call

Across the sea

A pale moon rises

The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn to silver glass

A light on the water

Grey ships pass

Into the West

I Sing Because I’m Happy

I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me (repeat)

I sing Oh yes I sing because I’m happy I sing Oh yes I sing because I’m free

For his eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me (repeat)

I’m so happy, yes! I’m so happy, yes I am! (repeat)

For his eye is on the sparrow , and I know He watches me.

Place Called Planet Earth

There is a place called Planet Earth, it is so blue and green,

It’s covered ‘round with seas and skies, a wonder to be seen.

The long ice ages came and went, the dinosaurs they died

And then up came the human race, and spread itself worldwide.

There came an age of industry, when coal and oil were mined,

And we burned them for their energy and work of every kind.

We drove our cars along the ground, we flew our planes above,

We felled the trees and killed the birds and hurt the earth we loved.

And now the carbon’s building up, and now the ocean’s warm

And now we need to turn around and cease from doing harm.

So stop the hunt for fossil fuels, and star on wind and sun

And learn to treasure Planet Earth – for it’s our only one.

There is a place called Planet Earth, it is so blue and green,

It’s covered ‘round with seas and skies, a wonder to be seen.

This Land Is Your Land

Sheet Music

REFRAIN:

This land is your land, and this land is my land  From California to the New York island  From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters  This land was made for you and me

1 As I went walking that ribbon of highway  And I saw above me that endless skyway  I saw below me that golden valley  This land was made for you and me

2 I roamed and rambled, and I've followed my footsteps  To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts  All around me, a voice was sounding  This land was made for you and me

3 When the sun come shining, then I was strolling  And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling  The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me
