1.
The sunlight fast is dwindling, My little lamp needs kindling Its beam shines far in darkest night, Dear lantern guide me with your light.
2.
I go with my bright little lantern, my lantern is going with me. In heaven the stars are shining, on Earth shines my lantern with me. The light grows dim as we go in La bimba la bamba la bim. The light grows dim as we go in La bimba la bamba la bim.
3.
Glimmer lantern glimmer, little stars a-shimmer. Over meadow, moor and dale flitter flutter elfin veil. Pee-wit pee-wit, tick-a-tack-a-tick, coo-coo-roo-coo. Glimmer lantern glimmer, little stars a-shimmer. Over rock and stock and stone wander tripping little gnome. Pee-wit, pee-wit, tick-a-tack-a-tick, coo-coo-roo-coo.

November 01:06
Golden light is turning gray, mists begin to rule the day. Bare the trees their branches lift, clouds of dead leaves earthward drift. Deep below, deep below, new life will spring! Thru the field the farmer goes, seeds of ripen'd corn she sows, trusts the earth will hold it warm, shelter it from cold and harm. Deep below, deep below, new life will spring! For she knows that warmth and light live there hidden from our sight, and beneath a shelt'ring wing, deep below new life will spring. Deep below, deep below, new life will spring!
5.
'Round and 'round the Earth is turning. Turning always 'round to morning and from morning 'round to night.
6.
St. Martin 00:56
St. Martin, St. Martin, St. Martin rode out in the night. His cape was warm, his heart was light. St. Martin rode out in the night His cape was warm, his heart was light! St. Martin, St. Martin, St. Martin saw a beggar man there in the snow with little on. "Oh help please or I must freeze, Oh help me please or I must freeze." St. Martin, St. Martin, St. Martin sprang down from his horse, he halved his cape with his great sword. St. Martin rode off in the storm, the beggar man so grateful and warm.
7.
Jack O' Lantern, Jack O' Lantern You are such a lovely sight! As you sit there in the window shining bright in the night. You were once a little pumpkin Growing on a pumpkin vine! Now you are a Jack O' Lantern shining bright in the night. Turnip Lantern, Turnip Lantern, you are such a lovely sight! As you sit there in the window shining bright in the night. You were once a little turnip growing underneath the ground! Now you are a turnip lantern shining bright in the night.
8.
Bring forth your gentle spark, illumine now the dark. Those trembling in the night, receive your shining light.
9.
Rise up, O Flame, by thy light glowing, Show to us beauty, vision and joy. Out of Eternity, this new day is born, Into Eternity, it will return.
10.
Go now in peace, go now in peace, may the love of life surround you everywhere, everywhere you may go.
