45. Our God, We Thank Thee for the Night

1 Our God, we thank
thee for the night,
And for the pleas-
ant 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 oth-
ers kind and good,
May all we do
in work or play
Be done with love
and rest this day.
