Can a Little Child Like Me?

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

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

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
