Morning has broken, like the 1st morning, blackbirds have spoken, like the 1st word
Praise for the singing. Praise for the morning, Praise for the evening, Fresh from the world.

Closing time in the afternoon:
Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh, shadows of the evening, still across the skies
Glory to the father, Glory to the son, And to thee blessed spirit, Whilst all ages run, Amen!

when sleeping on my cradle bed, and tear affectionately shed,

and pray to God that i shouldn’t die,

Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is but a dream.

Even for a 30 something year old guy I am, I can tell you that I still remember the birthdays of some of my classmates in primary school. Which goes to show you the wonderful memories that I have of the place. My childhood holds a special place in my heart.
