Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. God our Father made the night, Made the moon and stars so bright; All the clouds so far away, The shining sun and the golden day.
2. God our Father made the skies, Bees and birds and butterflies; Tiny flow’rs and trees that wave, These lovely gifts our Father gave.
