755. Little Children, Can You Tell?

[Teacher]
Little children, can you tell
Who has kept us safe and well
Through the watches of the night,
Till the morning light?
[Children]
Yes, it is our God doth keep,
Little children while they sleep,
He has kept us from all harm,
By His pow'rful arm.

[All]
Come then, let us thankful be,
For His mercies large and free!
Evry morning let us raise,
High our song of praise.
[All]
Praise Him for these happy hours,
Praise Him for our varied pow'rs,
Praise Him ev'ry heart and voice,
While we all rejoice.
