CIRCULAR NO. 71/2020 - WAGGGS WORLD SONG IN HINDI.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Greeting from the Bharat Scouts and Guides National Headquarters!
The WAGGGS World Song was adopted at the 13th World Conference in Oxford, UK, 1950. The music was adapted with the approval of the Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius, from his March, Opus 91b. It was originally composed for the march of one of the Finland's oldest Girl Scout companies. First published with English words by Gavin Ewart in 1952, the WAGGGS World Song highlights the principles and spirit of the Movement.

THE WORLD SONG
Lyrics:
|
Our way is clear as we march on, And see! Our flag on high, Is never furled throughout the world, For hope shall never die! We must unite for what is right, In friendship true and strong, Until the earth, In its rebirth, Shall sing our song! Shall sing our song!
|
All those who loved the true and good, Whose promises were kept, With humble mind, whose acts were kind, whose honour never slept; These were the free! And we must be, Prepared like them to live, To give to all, Both great and small, All we can give |
