Children's Hymnal ‎#137

137. Father, We Thank Thee

1 Father, we thank thee for the night,
And for the pleasant morning light,
For rest and food and loving care,
And all that makes the day so fair.

2 Help us to do the things we should,
To be to others kind and good;
In all we do in work or play
To grow more loving every day.
