75. Some Things We Are Specially Glad About

1 For the light for my work and play,
Thank you, Heav'nly Father.

2 For the dark for my sleep,
Thank you, Heav'nly Father.

3 For my family and friends who care for me,
Thank you, Heav'nly Father.

4 For all the animals that play with me,
Thank you, Heav'nly Father.

5 For all your love by night and day,
Thank you, Heav'nly Father.
