Teacher

Little eyes, look­ing wise,
Have you said your morn­ing prayer?
Have you thought, as you ought,
Of our heav’n­ly Fa­ther’s care?
Tell me what our pray­er should be
When the morn­ing light we see.

All

Pleasant light, clear and bright,
Shining on the world to­day.
So may love from ab­ove
Shine along our up­ward way;
So let ev­ery­thing we see
Turn our thoughts, O Lord, to Thee.

All

Water clear, stand­ing near,
Wash our hands and fac­es clean.
May the Lord, by His Word,
Wash our hearts from ev­ery sin.
So let ev­ery­thing we see
Turn our thoughts, O Lord, to Thee.

Girls

Cloak and hood, new and good,
Made to keep our bo­dies warm.
Words of truth, learned in youth,
Keep our souls from ev­ery harm.
So let ev­ery­thing we see
Turn our thoughts, O Lord, to Thee.

Boys

Boot or shoe, old or new,
Let us keep them clean and neat;
Let us pray that we may
Some day walk the gold­en street;
So let ev­ery­thing we see
Turn our thoughts, O Lord, to Thee.

Girls

Collar white, rib­bons bright,
Apron, bon­net, shawl or dress;
So may we ev­er be
Clad in Je­sus’ right­eous­ness;
So let ev­ery­thing we see
Turn our thoughts, O Lord, to Thee.

Boys

Top or ball, trea­sures all,
Books and toys I dear­ly prize;
Yet may I, when I die,
To my heav’n­ly trea­sures rise;
So let ev­ery­thing we see
Turn our thoughts, O Lord, to Thee.

All

Night or day, work or play,
In our hearts may be a pray­er;
God can see if there be,
Well He knows what thoughts are there;
So let ev­ery­thing we see
Turn our thoughts, O Lord, to Thee.
