When I was in infant Sunday School we always sang four songs.
The first was at the beginning:
"We are here in Sunday School
Happy children every one
So we sing our welcome song
Just because he loved us so
Come children welcome,
Come children, welcome
We are here to welcome you
Boys, and girls and babies too"
Then we did birthdays
Then we did our collection. Did anyone else sing this?
"Hear the pennies dropping
Listen how they fall
Every one for Jesus
We shall have them all
Dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping
Hear the pennies fall
Every one for Jesus he shall have them all"
And you repeated the last three lines until the plate had been round everyone. We always loved that song, and would pass the bag as slowly as possible to see how many times we could sing the last bit!
Then at the end we sang:
"Hands together softly so
Little eyes shut tight
Father, just before we go
Hear our prayers tonight
We are all thy children here
This is what we pray
Keep us when the dark is near
And through every day
Amen"
I also sang that at the end of the day in our (unconnected, not even in the same village) primary school.
We then went straight in to:
"Our Sunday School is over
And we are going to church
Goodbye, goodbye,
Be always kind and true (line sung by teachers)
Goodbye, goodbye
We will be kind and true (line sung by children)"
We used to sing "we are going home" until one child pointed out that we weren't going home, we were going to church, so it was changed. We waved at each other while singing "goodbye" and the leader would call out "Goodbye children" at the end, and in the winter "have you got your coats" because it was quite a walk from the parish rooms to the church and we were only let in at the correct time, so if we arrived early we could be waiting a long time.
What songs do you remember singing?
