We Are One Light

We are one light
Though the lamps be many.
We are one light
Though the lamps be many.

Clear & Dark The Night

Clear and dark the night,
Stars are very bright.
Lanterns shining with soft light.
Now, together we walk along.
Singing joyfully our lantern song.
We walk through the land,
Lanterns in our hand.
Children of one light are we.

This Little Light of Mine

This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
Let is shine, let it shine, let it shine.

All over the world, I’m gonna let it shine. All over the world, I’m gonna let it shine. All over the world, I’m gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Won’t let anyone blow it out,
I’m gonna let it shine.
Won’t let anyone blow it out,
I’m gonna let it shine.
Won’t let anyone blow it out,
I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Glimmer Lantern Glimmer

Glimmer, lantern, glimmer
Little stars a shimmer.
Over rock and stock and stone,
Wander tripping, little gnome.
Pee wit, pee wit
Tik a tik a tik
Roo coo, roo coo

Glimmer, lantern, glimmer
Little stars a shimmer.
Over meadow, moor, and dale,
Flitter, flutter elfin veil.

Pee wit, pee wit
Tik a tik a tik
Roo coo, roo coo.

I Go Out With My Lantern

I go out with my lantern,
My lantern goes with me.
Above the stars are shining,
Down here on earth shine we.
So shines the light
through the still dark night.
La bimba la bomba la boom
(boom boom)

'Neath heaven's dome,
'til we get home.
La bimba la bomba la boom
(boom boom)
