ALL NIGHT ALL DAY
All night, all day, angels watching over me my Lord
All night, all day, angels watching over me.
Now I lay me down to sleep, angels watching over me my Lord
Pray the Lord my soul to keep, angels watching over me.
All night, all day, angels watching over me my Lord.
All night, all day, angels watching over me.
DAYLIGHT TAPS
Thanks and praise,
For our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the sky,
As we go, this we know,
God is nigh.
DEEP AND WIDE
Deep and wide, deep and wide,
There's a fountain flowing deep and wide.
Deep and wide, deep and wide,
There's a fountain flowing deep and wide.
(Substitute words for actions each time the song is sung)
EACH CAMPFIRE LIGHTS ANEW
Each campfire lights anew,
The flames of friendship true.
The joy I've had in knowing you,
Will last a whole life through.
And as the embers fade away,
We wish that we could ever stay,
But since we cannot have our way,
We'll meet again another day.
GO WELL AND SAFELY
Go well and safely, Go well and safely,
Go well and safely, the Lord be ever with you.
Stay well and safely, stay well and safely,
Stay well and safely, the Lord be ever with you.
HAVANA SHIRA

HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD
He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the whole wide world in His hands

He's got you and me and sister...
He's got everybody...
He's got the whole world...
I'VE GOT THAT GIRL GUIDE SPIRIT
I've got that Girl Guide spirit up in my head,
Up in my head!
I've got that Girl Guide spirit up in my head
Up in my head to stay!
(Replace Up in my head with other words...)
2. Deep in my heart
3. Down in my feet
4. All over me
I've got that Girl Guide spirit up in my head
Deep in my heart, down in my feet
I've got that Girl Guide spirit all over me
All over me to stay!
JAMAICA FAREWELL
Public Domain
Down by the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain tops
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop.
Sad to say, I'm on my way
I won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is tuning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
KUM BA YAH
Kum ba yah my Lord, kum ba yah
Kum ba yah my Lord, kum ba yah
Kum ba yah my Lord, kum ba yah
O Lord kum ba yah
Someone's crying Lord...
Someone's singing Lord...
Someone's laughing Lord...
someone's praying Lord...
LAND OF THE SILVER BIRCH

(Our Unit likes to sing this song in conjunction with MY PADDLE)
Land of the Silver birch, home of the Beaver
Where still the mightly moose wanders at will
CHORUS: Blue lake and Rocky shore, I will return once more
Boom diddy ah da, boom diddy ah da, boom.
My heart is sick for thee, here in the lowlands,
I will return to thee, hills of the north. CHORUS
Swift as a silver fish, canoe of birch bark
By mighty water ways, carry me forth.CHORUS
Here where the blue lake lies, I'll set my wig wam
Close to the water's edge, silent and still. CHORUS
LINGER
From Around the Campfire- Australian Guide Song Book. The Girl Guides Association of Australia, Inc., Sydney N.S.W
Mmm I wanna linger, Mmm a little longer
Mmm a little longer here with you
Mmm it's such a perfect night, Mmm it doesn't seem quite right
Mmm that this hsould be my last with you
Mmm and come September, Mmm I will remember
Mmm all my camping days with you
Mmm and as the years go by, Mmm I think of you and cry
Mmm this is goodnight and not goodbye!
MICHAEL ROW
Michael row the boat ashore, aleluia
Michael row the boat ashore, aleluia
Sister help to trim the sail...
River Jordan is chilly and cold...
The river is deep and the river is wide...
MY PADDLE
(As I said, my girls like to sing this simutaneously with Land of the
Silver Birch)
My paddle's keen and bright, flashing with silver,
Follow the wild goose flight, dip dip and swing.
Dip dip and swing her back, flashing with silver
Follow the wild goose flight, dip dip and swing.v

SOFTLY FALLS THE LIGHT OF DAY
Public Domain
(To the tune of O Tannebaum)
Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away.
Silently, each Guide should ask, Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honour bright? Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared, everything to "Be Prepared"?
(Often we may split the group in half and instead of singing it
a second time, half will hum and the other half will cite the promise.
