Father, We Thank Thee

1 

Father, we thank Thee for the night,

And for the pleasant 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 others kind and good;

In all we do, in work or play,

To grow more loving every day.

This little hymn is in the children's section of the hymnal Great Songs of the Church, which we used when I was a student at Harding College. Whenever we (the choir) were on tour, any time we had a communal meal together we would sing this song for "grace" before we ate.
