Question.
1 Little schoolmates, can you tell
Who has kept us safe and well
Through the watches of the night,
Brought us safe to see the light?

Answer.
Yes, it is our God does keep
Little children while they sleep
He has kept us safe from harm,
Let us sleep so sweet and calm.

Question.
2 Can you tell who gives us food,
Clothes, and home, and parents good,
Schoolmates dear, and teachers kind,
Useful books, and active mind?

Answer.
Yes, our heavenly Father's care
Gives us all we eat and wear;
All our books, and all our friends,
God, in kindness, to us sends.

All.
3 O, then, let us thankful be
For his mercies large and free;
Every morning let us raise
Our young voices in his praise.
Worthy thou, our heavenly Lord,
To be honor'd and adored:
God of all-creating grace,
Take the everlasting praise.
