-
To East and West of that fair lsle
Where the first Loreto stands,
Loretoʼs banner now both fly in many distant lands,
In sunny Spain, on Africaʼs strand and
Under the Southern Cross
And Westward ho, where rainbow hued
Nigeriaʼs waters toss.
CHORUS
Loretoʼs banner gaily floats
In lands both East and West,
Loretoʼs name each girl reveres
And holds it ever blest.
- But first Loreto found a home beneath our Indian skies
Where now oʼer plain and mountain peak
The well loved banner flies.
Loretoʼs standard bearers we
In girlhood’s springtime gay
O may we eʼer be loyal and true
To the school friends of today.
- And when our school days ended are
And our varied paths divide
O may the ideals of our Youth
Still ever be our guide;
High ideals of purity, of duty and of truth
Learnt while we bore Loretoʼs flag
In the sunny days of youth.
India is my country, all Indians are
my brothers and sisters.
I love my country and I am proud of
its rich and varied heritage. I shall
always strive to be worthy of it.
I shall give my parents, teachers and
all elders respect, and treat every one
with courtesy.
I shall be kind to everyone. To my
Country and my people, I pledge my
devotion
In their wellbeing and prosperity
alone lies my happiness.

In thanksgiving and in praise.

Cho : God’s love is so wonderful-3
Oh wonderful love.
So high you can’t get over it
So deep you can’t get under it
So wide you can’t get around it
Oh wonderful love.
Higher, higher than the sky
Deeper, deeper than the ocean
Wider, wider than the universe
Oh Oh wonderful love.
When I see someone fall down
I will lift them up.
If they are lying on the ground
I’ll use my helping hands
Chorus : Helping hands helping one another
I’ll do what I can with my helping hands
If my mummy is the cook
And the baby is crying
I’ll help him read a book
And use my helping hands.
If my daddy is alone
Working in the garden
I’ll help him weed and hoe
With my helping hands.
Chorus : Helping hands, helping one another
I’ll do what I can with my helping hands
We’ll do what we can With our helping hand-3
I love you, you love me
We’re a happy family
With a great big hug

Won’t you say you love me too.
I love you, you love me
We’re good friends
As friends should be
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won’t you say you love me too.
Ref : All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The good God made them all.
- Each little flower that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colours
He made their tiny wings.
- The cold wind in the winter
The pleasant summer sun.
The ripe fruits in the country
He made them everyone.
- He gave us eyes to them
And lips that we might tell
How great is God almighty
Who has made all things well.
1. This little guiding light of mine
I’m going to let it shine-3
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.
2. Hide it under a bushel! Oh no!
3. Take this little light round the world
4. Make my little light burn for thee.

He rests within my heart for my God loves

Though storm clouds threaten the day
He will set me free

And I will live like a child held in love secure.
- The joys of love as offerings now we bring
The pains of love will be lost in the praise we sing.
Bind us together, Lord
Bind us together, with Cords
That cannot be broken
Bind us together, Lord
Bind us together

There is only one God
There is only one King
There is only one body
That is why I sing.
Ref : O give thanks to the lord for He is good-3
Yes, eternal is His love.

All my life I will tell of his wonders
He’s the maker of all earth and heaven
Of the ocean, the seas and all they hold.
- The Almighty is faithful forever,
He is just to the poor and the outraged,
It is He who gives bread to the hungry,
Who delivers the captives from their chains.
- To the just He is gracious and loving
But the wicked He foils and they tremble
Yes the Lord reigns forever and ever
He is king over zion without end.
Make God your Guru, let Him tell you what to do,
Listen, He’s calling clear and true.
Take time to listen, take courage to obey;
The inner voice is calling, calling you-3.
There are voices all around me
My enemies and my friends
Do this don’t do that
The chorus never ends
But I shall always listen to that
‘quiet inner voice
It is strong and gentle
And I have made my choice.
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I’ll be forever thankful baby
You’re the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I’m grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You’ve been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me.

All will he will, for God is near.

Why is she travelling so far?
Striding out spirited and strong,
Pursuing her dream to its end.

Who is this woman? What is she thinking?
What is leading her on?
The strength of the spirit, the love of her Lord
This is what keeps her gong

We are this woman when we have courage
To stand up for what we believe
Speaking the truth trusting in God
Acting for freedom and justice

Come and sing my song
How beautiful....
Lead us on........
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face,
You were content to let me shine, that’s your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you’re my hero,
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I’ve got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, ofcourse I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
You’re everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
‘cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you’re my hero?
You’re everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
‘cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
‘cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Oh you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
So high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

नेकी पर चलें, और बरी से टलें,
ताकि हँसते हुए निकले दम।।
ऐ मालिक तेरे बन्दे हम।
ये अन्धेरा घना छा रहा, तेरा इन्सान घबरा रहा,
हो रहा बेखबर, कुछ न आता नजर
सुख का सूरज छिपा जा रहा

तू अमावस को कर दे पूनम। नेकी पर ..............
बड़ा कमजोर है आदमी, अभी लाखों हैं इसमें कमी,
पर तू जो खड़ा, है दयालु बड़ा,
तेरी कृपा से धरती थमी,
दिया तूने हमें जब जनम,
तू ही झेलेगा हम सब के गम।।

मन का विश्वास कमजोर हो ना।
हम चलें नेक रस्ते पे हमसे,
भूलकर भी कोई भूल हो ना।
दूर अज्ञान के हो अँधेरे,

हर बुराई से बचते रहें हम,
जितनी भी दे भली जिन्दगी दे।
बैर हो ना किसी का किसी से,
भावना मन में बदले की हो ना।। हम चलें ............
हम ना सोचें हमें क्या मिला है,
हम ये सोचें किया क्या है अर्पण।

सबका जीवन ही बन जाए मधुबन,
अपनी करूणा का जल तू बहा के
करदे पावन हर एक मन का कोना।। हम चलें .............
तू ही राम है, तू रहीम है, तू करीम, कृष्ण खुदा है ।
तू ही वाहे गुरु, तू येसु मसीह, हर नाम में तू समा रहा ।

दूसरों की जय से पहले खुद की जय करें ।
भेद-भाव अपने दिल से साफ कर सकें,
दूसरों से भूल हो तो माफ़ कर सकें ।
झूठ से बचे रहें सच का दम भरें दूसरों की जय ...........
मुश्किलें पड़े तो हम पर इतना कर्म कर,
साथ दें तो धर्म का चलें तो धर्म पर
खुद पे हौसला रहें, बदी से डरें दूसरों ............
