To Thee, O God, Whose Father Hand

To Thee

O God

whose Fa­ther hand

Showers plen­ty o’er this smil­ing land

And leads us through life’s de­vi­ous ways

We bring to­day our song of praise.

For earth with all its glo­ri­ous things

For life with all the joy it brings

For bu­sy day

for qui­et night

We thank Thee

Lord of life and light.

For teach­ers kind and class­mates dear

That make the days so hap­py here

For strength our play or tasks to do

Dear Fa­ther

we would thank

Thee

too.

For home

where all life’s bless­ings meet

For bro­thers true and sis­ters sweet

For fa­ther’s care and mo­ther’s love

We thank Thee

Lord of Heav’n ab­ove.

And now

through all the days to be

O lead us

Fa­ther

ten­der­ly

And guide our steps by day and night

Still t’ward Thine ev­er­last­ing light.

Praise God from whom all bless­ings flow

Praise Him

all crea­tures here be­low

Praise Him above

ye heav’n­ly host;

Praise Fa­ther

Son and Holy Ghost.
