760. Father, We Thank Thee

1 Father, we thank Thee for the night,
And for the pleasant morning light,
For rest and food, and loving care,
And all that makes the day so fair.

2 Help us to do the things we should,
To be to others kind and good;
In all our work, and all our play,
To love Thee better ev'ry day.
