UK School Assembly Anthems

Well, I was reading a news article last night about classic songs we used to sing back in primary school assembly in the UK. Who remembers belting out these classic tunes?!

Number 1; Lord of the Dance

Number 2; He's Got The Whole World in His Hands

Probably the most well known is He's Got The Whole World in His Hands

Number 3; Autumn Days

Autumn Days is probably the one you don't remember singing but when you listen to it, it all comes back to you!

Let me know which ones you remember!

omg yessss One More Step Along the World I go is my all-time favourite. Makes me so sad/nostalgic when I hear it!

Holy moly Autumn days!!! NO I MUSTNT FORGETTTTT TO SAY A GREAT BIG THANK YOU OH I MUSTNT FORGETTTT

The other one not here that I remember so vividly was We Wanna See Jesus Lifted High. Never really thought about the fact we weren’t a religious school at all but would always sing hymns in assembly...

I used to go to summer camp with my church every summer.
We sung give me oil in my lamp every night so we were safe :)

Remember all of these too well! :') They seem so much catchier now though for some reason.

One I could add would be "This is the day" Which my school particularly liked for some reason

Shine Jesus Shine is lit one of my fav songs ever

I know a few you posted, not loads though.

We had these that I remember:

I loved this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSO4V5egkGw

We sung this one a bit faster and not as dramatic as this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoM0AT8fBvs

I swear we sung this as 'Allah' Father:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BvUkx-qT6w

We used to sing this as a round with the 4 different years:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ_u8d5XM8c

I went to a C of E junior school by the way, so we always used to go to church and everything there too.

I also went to a Christian youth group for 7 years (7-15) and Sunday school at the same place for a few years, so I know more (I know a stupid amount of facts about the bible and I don't even know how I remember it).

I want to say that the youth club wrote their own songs. I remember it being something like "39 books in the Old Testament, but only 27 in the new"

We also had a song called Special (or S P E C I A L) - Jesus loves me when I'm tall, Jesus loves me when I'm small, Jesus loves me when I'm wide, Jesus loves me SPECIAL, S P E C I A L, S P E C I A L, S P E C I A L, Jesus loves me SPECIAL.

We also had (not in this tune):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7i6c54KEfc

We also had something like this, but the lyrics/tune is different:

Ours was, "Jesus loves me this I know, because the Bible tells me so, John 3:16 tells me that God sent his son to save the world, if I believe that Jeeeesus, died on Calvary, I shall not die, but have eternal life.
