Morning has broken.

Now that really is a song that should only be sung by folk who can sing!

At school now we sing "shotgun" by George Ezra, "firework" Katy Perry and "got that feelin" Justin Timberlake. How the times have changed.

Oh that was a lovely one but it was always funny listening to people trying to hit the high notes. When a Knight Won His Spurs was another happy one.

We used to sing bangers like:-

We are climbing Jesus’s ladder

I am the lord of the dance

Then we also sang Beatles songs thinking they were hymns:

When I’m 64

Yellow Submarine

And also, maybe controversially now

Brown girl in the ring

I was always surprised at Sunday school that the last 3 weren’t played!

Of course now they cannot be called Hymms so we have to use the term "thems" ;-p
