Simple Gifts (A Shaker song...)

'Tis the gift to be simple,
'Tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.

'Tis the gift to be simple,
'Tis the gift to be fair
'Tis the gift to wake and breathe the morning air
And each day we walk on the path that we choose
'Tis the gift we pray we never shall lose
