This Little Guiding Light of Mine

This little guiding light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
This little guiding light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
This little guiding light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.

Hide it under a bush, OH no. I'm gonna let it shine
Hide it under a bush, OH no. I'm gonna let it shine
Hide it under a bush, OH no. I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine

Don't you blow my little light out, I'm gonna let it shine.
Don't you blow my little light out, I'm gonna let it shine.
Don't you blow my little light out, I'm gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine

Take my little light round the world, I'm gonna let it shine.
Take my little light round the world, I'm gonna let it shine.
Take my little light round the world, I'm gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.

Hide it under a bush, OH no. I'm gonna let it shine
Don't you blow my little light out, I'm gonna let it shine.
Take my little light round the world, I'm gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine


Join Hands

Lets join hands in friendship,
Today the skies are bright.
Sing a song of happiness,
A Chorus of delight.
Dance into the future,
Guides from many lands.
Celebrating, celebrating,
As we all join hands.

We receive the gift of life and the gift of choice.
We can grow each one herself.
Speak with her own voice.
Use our hands in praying, choosing, living.
And know ourselves and then begin,
To know the folk we meet.

We receive the gift life, sease the chance and live.
Be prepared to lend a hand, we have much to give.
Use our hands in serving, helping, and sharing.
And know the joys of caring.
And loving all our lives.


Let Me Call You Sister

(to the tune of Let me Call you Sweetheart)

Let me call you sister
I'm a Girl Guide too.
Let me hear you whisper
All the Guide Laws through.
Keep your Girl Guide Promise,
In your heart so true,
Let me call you sister,
I'm a Girl Guide too.


Guide Marching Song

Chorus:
We are Guides, all Guides
And in unexpected places
You'll see our friendly faces
And a ready hand besides
And there's not much danger
In finding you're a stranger
For Commissioner or Ranger
We are Guides, all Guides.

Who are we, swinging along the road
With a pack on our backs,
A song in our hearts,
To ease the load
It's been eighty years or more
Since we crowded through the door
And we're coming along
As gay and strong
As ever we came before

Who are these living beneath the sky
While the simmering sun
The pattering rain
The clouds pass by
They will dine beneath the boughs
And their leader always vows
That they're never afraid of wasps
And hardly ever afraid of cows

Who are these, sitting around the fire
They'll be happy to have your company
If that is your desire
And the evening will be gay
At the sunset of the day
With a song to sing
And a tale to tell
And many a tune to play

I'm a Girl Guide

(to the tune of "Brother John")

I'm a Girl Guide. I'm a Girl Guide.
Who are you? Who are you?
Can't you tell by looking?
Can't you tell by looking?
I'm one too. I'm one too.
