1 Do you know who made the night?
Made the stars and moon so bright?
God our Father made the night,
Made the stars and moon so bright:
Our Father made the night.

2 Do you know who made the day?
Made the glad and happy day?
God our Father made the day,
Made the glad and happy day:
Our Father made the day.

3 Do you know who made the trees?
Waving gently in the breeze?
God our Father made the trees,
Waving gently in the breeze:
Our Father made the trees.
