Version 1
Lyrics
(Gregorian chant, arr. Lowell Mason, Lyrics by Rebecca J. Weston)
Father we thank Thee for the night,
Thank Thee for pleasant morning light,
Thank Thee for rest, for food, for care,
For all that makes the day so fair.
Help us to do the things we should,
Help us to be to others good,
In all we do, in work or play,
Loving Thee better everyday.
