Can a Little Child like Me? (English)




Me playing "Can a Little Child like Me?"


Can a Little Child like Me?
Words: Mary M. Dodge, 1831? - 1905
Music: W. R. Bassford


Can a little child like me
Thank the Father fittingly?
Yes, oh yes! Be good and true,
Patient, kind in all you do!
Love the Lord and do your part;
Learn to say with all your heart:

Father, we thank thee!
Father, we thank thee!
Father in Heaven, we thank thee!


For the fruit upon the tree,

Fruit Salad (my lunch)1

For the birds that sing of thee,

Magpie

For the sunshine warm and bright,

The morning sun

For the day

Clear blue sky

and for the night,

Moon

For the joyful work and true
That a little child may do,

Father, we thank thee!
Father, we thank thee!
Father in Heaven, we thank thee!
