Song Description

A prayer cast in the form of a lullaby.

Lyrics

Each night,
When all is still,
And my child lies asleep,
I know,
Deep within my soul,
All in heaven is right.

Oh Lord,
I ask you hear (here),
Bless this child,
Through the night,
I pray,
That your grace is near,
Till the darkness is light.

My precious angel,
Let your heart run free,
And gentle creatures,
Your companions be,
Though innocence,
Like a child,
Will one day be gone,
Now it?s safe with me,
By your side.

Child,
Sleep now in peace,
Treasure night?s,
Gentle hand,
In dreams,
All you wish to be,
Are the sandman?s command.

Lord,
I know you?re here,
Bless this child,
Through the night,
I pray,
That your grace is near,
Till the morning?s first light.

My precious angel,
Now be free of care,
Amidst the baby?s breath,
And angel?s hair,
Be rest assured,
That I will,
Always be right there,
To keep you safe and warm,
Through the night.

Lord,
Please be my sight,
Guide this child,
Through the night,
I?ll wait,
Oh so patiently,
Till morning brings,
You back to me,
Again.
