Did I Read that Right?

Yesterday I purchased a used (and vintage) reading textbook for Abigail.  It is full of classic stories and poems.

On in the inside front cover is stamped:

STATE TEXTBOOK PURCHASING BOARD
This book is property of
THE STATE OF ALABAMA

Part of today's reading especially caught my eye.  

We Thank Thee
Author Unknown

Dear God, we Thank thee for the night,
And for the pleasant morning light;
For rest and food and loving care,
And all that makes the world so fair.

Help us to do the things we should,
To be to others kind and good;
In all we do, in work and play,
To grow more like Thee every day.

I wonder if this edition is still being circulated?  Hmmmm.
