                                    SITTING BY OUR LAUGHING FIRE
                                       

                                       Sitting by our laughing fire
                                       We watch the embers glow
                                       And remember when as youngsters
                                       We thought we'd never grow

                                                                 But we, like sparks aflyin'
                                       Hoped and dreamed to dare
                                       Reached ever onward, upward
                                       'Neath our parents' loving care
                
                                                                 Now we have children of our own
                                       That spark us with desire
                                       That leave warm feelings in our hearts
                                       And set our souls on fire

                                                                 We knock now at your door
                                       Oh Father, please come and let us in
                                       That we may sit and laugh with you
                                       And know you as our friend

                                                                   GREAT PLEASURE
                                                
                                                                 We take great pleasure 
                                                                 In singing a song
                                                                 In lighting a torch
                                                                 In righting a wrong

                                                                                                            We take great pleasure
                                                                 In sowing a seed
                                                                 In harvesting crops
                                                                 In pulling a weed

                                                                 We take great pleasure 
                                                                 In the lilt of a bird
                                                                 In a quiet peaceful moment
                                                                 In reading the Word

                                                                                                            We take great pleasure
                                                                 In greeting the sun
                                                                 In the changing of seasons
                                                                 In the long distance run

                                                                 We take great pleasure
                                                                 In family time leisure
                                                                 In friends that we treasure
                                                                 In life at full measure
