| A Few Traditional Guiding Songs | ||||
| Make New Friends Make new friends, but keep the old One is silver and the other's gold A cirle's round it has no end That's how long I want to be your friend New made friends, like new made wine They will mellow and refine Tall Trees Tall trees that reach the sky Mountains and lakes nearby Draw near my friends, come sing my friends Our campfire time is nigh Taps (Night time) Day is done Gone the sun From the LAKE, from the hills, from the sky All is well Safely rest God is nigh Camp Taps Camp is done Gone the fun From the lake, from the tent, from the fire All was well From the start Safely part Brownie Bells Oh Lord, our God Thy children call Grant us thy peace And bless us all On My Honour Chorus- On my honour I will try There's a duty to be done and I say "aye" There's a reason here For a above, my honour is to try and my duty is to love No one needs to know my name If I've hurt some one, then I'm to blame If I've helped someone, then I've helped me And that's the way that it should be CHORUS I've tucked away a song or two If you're feeling low, there's one for you If you need a friend, then I will come There's plenty more where I come from CHORUS Come with me where the fire burns bright We can even see better by its own light We can find more meaning in the campfire glow Then we've ever found in a year or so CHORUS Friendship is the strangest game If you keep it to yourself, no reward will you gain But when you give it away, you gave it to me And from now on best friends we'll be CHORUS We've a promise to always keep And to sing "day is done" before we sleep We're Girl Guides together, and when we're gone We'll still be a-trying and a-singing this song CHORUS |
