Now I lay me down to sleep,
The day is done, time to weep.
As the tears fall from my eyes,
I wish his heart could hear my cries.
If I should die at mornings' light,
I pray his love to lift my flight.
To see the sun shine in his eyes,
To know he loved me with no lies.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
Bless this heart that he has won.
Keep it whole and keep it pure,
Keep it loving, true and sure.
And as he sleeps so far away,
Keep his dreams of home to stay.
Keep his heart with mine so long,
And keep his faith pure and strong.
Lord, Bless his strength, his will and fight
And bless his hands to do what's right.
Keep him safe and in Your grace,
Send all my love to light his face.
And when he returns, safe and sound,
I'll kneel in praise, with love abound.
Lord, hear this prayer, I beg of Thee,
Unite us again...just him and me.
Amen
