Representative Text

1 In the early morning
Dark shadows stay
Till the sunbeams bring us
God's gift of day.

2 When the day is ended
Stars shining bright
Bring to tired children
God's gift of night.

3 Father, now we thank Thee,
For morning light,
For our days of gladness,
For rest of night.

Amen.
