♪♪♪ SING ALONG ♪♪♪ as a piano plays the chords and melody (from the SOLO Edition of the Secular Hymnal). Singing along to a simple, chorded melody like this is an ideal way to develop your harmonizing skills!

Lyrics:

Open, open up the window
Let the curtains snap in the wind
Open, open up the window
Let the fresh new world come in

May we all grow as the winds blow
Blow and blow and blow again
Open, open up the window
Let the fresh new world come in
