1. Can a little child like me,
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:
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 drest,
Father, mother and the rest,
For thy precious, loving care,
For Thy bounty ev'rywhere,
Father, we thank Thee!
Father, we thank Thee!
Father in Heaven, we thank Thee!
