Song and Study for God's Little Ones ‎#74

74. Giving Thanks

1 For air and sunshine pure and sweet,
We thank our heav'nly Father;
For grass that grows beneath our feet,
We thank our heav'nly Father;
For flow'rs that all around us bloom,
That ever yield their sweet perfume,
For birds that sing in joyful tune,
We thank our heav'nly Father.

2 For leafy trees, with fruit and shade,
We thank our heav'nly Father;
For things of beauty He hath made,
We thank our heav'nly Father;
For daily blessings, full and free,
For leading when we cannot see,
For all His care o'er you and me,
We thank our heav'nly Father.

3 For Jesus, born a little child,
We thank our heav'nly Father;
For Jesus, loving, kind and mild,
We thank our heav'nly Father;
For Jesus Christ, the children's friend,
Who in our hearts His love doth send,
For Christ, who helps us to the end,
We thank our heav'nly Father.
