Words: Richard Compton, in 140 Folk Songs, Concord Series No. 7, 1921.
Music: Compton, old English melody.
God, our Father, made the daylight;
God, our Father, made the night;
God made mountains, sea, and sky,
And the white clouds floating high.
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.
