Thank the Father fittingly?
Yes, oh yes, be good and true,
Patient, kind in all you do;
Love the Lord, and do your part;
Learn to say with all your heart,
Refrain:
Father, we thank thee,
Father, we thank thee,
Father in heaven, we thank thee.
2 For the fruit upon the tree,
For the birds that sing of thee,
For the earth in beauty dressed,
Father, mother, and the rest,
For Thy precious, loving care,
For Thy bounty everywhere, [Refrain]
3 For our comrades and our plays,
And our happy holidays,
For the joyful work and true
That a little child may do,
For our lives but just begun,
For the great gift of Thy Son, [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Can a little child, like me]
Can a Little Child, Like Me
