Can a little child, like me,
Thank the Father fiftingly?
Yes, oh, yes! be good and true,
Patient, kind in all you do,
Love hte Lord, and do your part;
Learn to say with all your heart;
(CHORUS:)
Father, we thank Tree!
Father, we thank Tree!
Father in heaven, we thank Tree!

For the fruit up on the tree,
For the birds that sing to Tree,
For the earth in beauty drest,
Father, mother, and the rest;
For Thy precious, loving care,
For Thy bounty ev'rywhere,
(CHORUS)
3.
For the sun-shine warm and bright,
For the day and for the night;
For the lessons of our youth,
Honor, gratitude and truth;
For the love that met us here,
For the home and for the cheer,
(CHORUS)
4.
For our comrades and our plays
And our happy holidays;
For the joyful work and true
That a little child may do;
For our lives but just begun,
For the great gift of Thy Son,
(CHORUS)
