PEACE DAY Assembly Song " SIMPLE GIFTS"-SEPTEMBER 21, 2016

Simple Gifts 

Verse 1
‘Tis the gift to be simple, ‘tis the gift to be free,
‘Tis the gift to come down, where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves, in the place just right,
Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

Chorus 
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning, we come round right.

Verse 2 
Tis the gift to be gentle, ‘tis the gift to be fair,
‘Tis the gift to wake and breath the morning air.
And every day to walk, in the path we choose,
‘Tis the gift we that hope we will not come to lose.

Chorus 
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight
Till by turning, turning, we come round right.

Verse 3
Tis the gift to be loving, ‘tis the best gift of all.
 Like a quiet rain, it blesses where it falls;
 And if we have the gift, we will truly believe,
‘Tis better to give than it is to receive.

 Chorus 
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight
Till by turning, turning, we come round right.
