Opening Hymn
“Magic Penny”
by Malvina Reynolds
Performed by Jenn Richard
Love is something if you give it away,
Give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more.
It’s just like a magic penny,
Hold it tight and you won’t have any.
Lend it, spend it, and you’ll have so many
They’ll roll all over the floor.
For love is something if you give it away,
Give it away, gift it away.
Love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more.
Money’s dandy and we like to use it,
But love is better if you don’t refuse it.
It’s a treasure and you’ll never lost it
Unless you lock up your door.
For love is something if you give it away,
Give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more.
So let’s go dancing till the break of day,
And if there’s a piper, we can pay.
For love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more.
For love is something if you give it away,
Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more.

Closing Hymn
“Puff the Magic Dragon”
by Peter Yarrow & Leonard Lipton
Performed by Linda Vannoni & Seneca Corsa
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff
Oh, Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
