SIMPLE GIFTS

SIMPLE GIFTS

'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.
When true simplicity is given,
To bow and to bend we will not be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we'll come round right.

(Lyrics slightly changed for the children)

These are 3rd and 4th grade students, not a choir but a mixed class singing for the first time in public.

The song was arranged at such a pace for the eight and nine year old children. For us, the important part was helping them ease into the bigger world without trauma but with confidence. Competition is never part of our education pedagogy.
