Children's Hymnal ‎#24

24. Good Night Prayer

1 Our Father, you have given me
So much of love and joy today,
That I am thinking joy and love
To other children far away.

2 Wherever they lie down to sleep,
Happy and tired with work and play,
Yellow and brown, and black and white,
Our Father, bless us all tonight.
