This was my morning prayer in our school...
I sang it w/o knowing the meaning for 5 yrs
and w/o bothering to know the meaning for next 5 yrs...
DAILY..............
and now i wanted to know the meaning of it, after 13 yrs, since i last sang it!!!
Father, we thank thee for the night,
and for the pleasant morning light;
for rest and food and loving care,
and all that makes the day so fair.
Help us to do the things we should,
to be to others kind and good;
in all we do, in work or play,
to grow more loving every day.
Prayer before Lunch

Guardian Angel From Heaven So Bright
Watching beside me to lead me aright
Fold thy wings round me O guard me with love
Softly sing songs to me Of heav'n above
