An Anthem for Autumnfest (Drinking Song)

Verse 1

The leaves are turning gold and red,

The harvest moon is high,

We're gathered with our family and friends

Beneath the autumn sky.

The fiddles sing, the tubas ring,

The laughter fills the air,

And every blessing Heaven sends

Reminds us God is there!

Chorus

Hey! Raise your stein and sing along!

Life is sweet and faith is strong!

Oom-pah, oom-pah, hearts are light,

We're dancing through the crisp fall night!

Give thanks for every friend we've found,

For every smile and joyful sound!

Hey! Autumnfest, we'll cheer and shout!

God's good love is ringing out!

Verse 2

The lanterns glow, the tables bend

With cider, bread, and cheer,

The stories grow a little taller

With every mug of beer.

The children race, the grandparents dance,

The whole town joins the tune,

And even worries fade away

Beneath the Autumn moon.

Chorus

Hey! Raise your stein and sing along!

Life is sweet and faith is strong!

Oom-pah, oom-pah, hearts are light,

We're dancing through the crisp fall night!

Give thanks for every friend we've found,

For every smile and joyful sound!

Hey! Autumnfest, we'll cheer and shout!

God's good love is ringing out!

Bridge

And if the road has not been kind,

And troubles crossed your way,

Come grab a seat, come share a toast,

We'll help you through the day.

For grace is found in helping hands,

In kindness freely given,

A little taste of what we hope

Awaits us all in Heaven!

Instrumental Call

Oom-pah! Oom-pah!

Clap your hands!

Oom-pah! Oom-pah!

Join the band!

Spin around and stomp the floor,

One more chorus, then one more!

Final Chorus

Hey! Raise your stein and sing along!

Life is sweet and faith is strong!

Oom-pah, oom-pah, hearts are light,

We're dancing through the crisp fall night!

Give thanks for every friend we've found,

For every smile and joyful sound!

Hey! Autumnfest, we'll cheer and shout!

God's good love is ringing out!

Tag Ending

Oom-pah, oom-pah, loud and long,

Autumnfest, our happy song!

With thankful hearts we'll celebrate,

Good friends, good cheer, and amazing grace!

Hey! Hey! Hey!
