Peace perfect peace
When a knight won his spurs
All things bright and beautiful
Light up the fire

I loved the Come and Praise book!

Little boxes, on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky, little boxes all the same.

An odd song to teach at an infant school, but I remember it well.

Oh yes, I remember it well. I have vivd memories of running my fingers over the poorly applied sticky back plastic covering it, all ridged and bubbled.

Interested in this thread?

Light up the fire was a firm favourite of mine! Brings back memories Grin

I remember one that started “milk bottle tops and paper bags...” I can never remember the rest.

Milk bottle tops and paper bags
Iron bedsteads dirty old rags
Litter on the pavement,
Rubbish in the park,
Is this what we dun dun dun really want to see?
NO NO NO

Help us lord to find each day, ways to help to keep away, that litter on the pavement the rubbish in the park. Is this what we dun dun dun dun dun really want to see?

YES YES YES

It’s probably me that has it wrong, I’ve a terrible memory.

There was one about trumpets blowing and Jericho, but I can't remember it! We all sang it really loudly.
