Can a little child like me
Thank the Father fittingly?
Yes, oh yes! Be good and true
Faithful, kind, in all you do
Love the Lord, and do your part
Learn to say with all your heart
Father, we thank thee
Father, we thank thee
Father in heaven, we thank thee

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

Chorus 1
For the sunshine warm and bright
For the day and for the night
For the lessons of our youth
Honor, gratitude and truth
For the love that met us here
For the home and for the cheer

Chorus 2
For our comrades and our plays
And our happy holidays
For the joyful work and true
That a little child might do
For our lives but just begun
For the great gift of Thy son

Repeat Chorus 1
