Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I said this child’s pray each night
With mother close within my sight
Not knowing what the future brings
Her hope for me, under His wings
Many decades so soon passed
The voices of the distant past
I heard my own child calling out
Lord save my soul, would be the shout
We know not what the future brings
For to the Lord we only sing
Thank you Lord for each new day
Please light our lives in your sweet way
So now as years have passed me by
Each night upon my bed I lie
Asking Him for calm and peace
In a world that offers no release
Then I hear His soothing voice
Telling me I have a choice
To trust in Him and know my soul
Will be with Him forever more
