on its riches. 

Liberate us, who 

commemorate him today, from bondage to self, & empower us for service to you  &  

to the neighbors you 

have given us

Yes, I LOVE that old song! I think it was from "Guys and Dolls" and I can hear the singer's voice in my head right now! Debby P

Yes I do a good old song. I don't remember all of the words, but I've heard it sung many times. I'll revive it and sing it to you.

Lovingly, Jeff W 

I sing it to both grandkids when they are going to bed!

Hi Louise We sang it around our house growing up, too! Out of curiosity, I looked it up, and it turns out it's from Guys and Dolls. The original production was on Broadway from 1950 through 1953. So I was 12 when it started and my siblings at that time were 6, 3, and a few months old. It must have been my Dad who sang it to us, because he could sing and always sang on long car trips. I remember Mom saying it to us. Thanks for the wonderful memories! Love, Jan D

I do know that song! But I only know it to a point - “…and a hug around the neck.” Now that you’ve brought it to mind, I’m going to hunt up the rest of the words.  :)   Carol M. 

The only thing I remember is “…and a hug around the.” Mary McC….

Louise - I do remember-- barely! More precisely, that is really looking back a long way, about as far back as I can remember!! Thank you!  Bob K

Yes.....and I could sing all the words........a fun song with lots of affection.   M.
