Part 8

The Audience returned and took their seats and the WW2 segment started.

The Choir were dressed in uniforms of the period the Boys as Soldiers,Sailors and Airmen and the Girls as Army Nurses, those battledress uniforms are really rough but the boys loved them. They sang

Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
'Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

It was beautiful they way it sounded and a deathly silence followed it, we were soon brought to reality and Jule was sent on to sing the first of her Vera Lynn songs

There'll be blue birds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
There'll be love and laughter
And peace ever after
Tomorrow, when the world is free
The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
in his own little room again.
There'll be blue birds over
The white cliffs of Dover,
Tomorrow, just you wait and see.

OOPS something has gone wrong it should have the Churchill speech then the song

When the lights go on again all over the world
And the boys are home again all over the world
And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above
A kiss won't mean "goodbye" but "Hello to love
When the lights go on again all over the world

And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings
And free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world

Oh well it`ll be put right for next week
