For sun and moon and stars
We thank Thee, Lord of light,
For happy play by day,
And quiet sleep at night.
Children yellow, black, and brown
Watch the same red sun go down;
And the moon which lights our sky
Guards their sleep with loving eye.
For friends and grass and trees
We thank Thee, Lord of love;
For smiling flowers and earth
And sunny skies above.
Children living far away
Love the flowers bright and gay,
Love the trees so straight and tall,
And the blue sky over all.
We know Thy tender love,
We thank Thee for Thy care,
For light and fields and flowers,
And all things everywhere.
Children live across the sea
Who have never heard of Thee:
We who know Thy love can pray,
“Bless the children far away.”
