God, our Father, made the daylight

God, our Father, made the daylight

Author: Richard Compton
Tune: SONG OF PRAISE (English)
Published in 8 hymnals

Printable scores: MusicXML

Representative Text

1 God our Father made the daylight,
God our Father made the night;
God made mountains, sea, and sky,
And the white clouds floating high.

2 God, we thank Thee for the showers;
God, we thank Thee for the dew;
Mighty trees and flowers small,
God our Father gave them all.
