Lyrics

Now it?s time to rest my head
On my warm and cozy bed.
God is watching over me
While I slumber, while I sleep.

For You, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.

Jesus will not close His eyes.
Mommy says I must close mine.
In the light or darkness deep.
God will hold me while I sleep.

Yes, God is watching over me
While I slumber, while I sleep.
