1 For the fruit upon the tree,
For the birds that sing of Thee,
For the earth in beauty dressed,
Father, mother, and the rest,
For Thy precious, loving care,
For Thy bounty everywhere,
Chorus:
Father, we thank Thee, Father, we thank Thee,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
2 For our comrades and our plays,
And our happy holidays,
For the joyful work and true
That a thoughtful child may do,
For our lives but just begun,
For the great gift of Thy Son, (Chorus)
