Sleep My Child

Sleep my child,
Rest your tiny head upon my shoulder,
Close your eyes,
Dream your dreams.
And when the dawn rings it’s morning light to gently wake you,
Call on me and I’ll be there.
And we can laugh and play for another day,
'Till it’s time to sleep again.
But now, sleep my child
Know that I will always be with you.
And we can laugh and play for another day,
'Till it’s time to sleep again.
But now, sleep my child
Know that I will always be with you.
Sleep, my child
May the grace of God surround you, hold you through the years.
Until the day,
You find rest within the arms of Jesus,
Safely in the Father’s care.
And as we end this day,
Taking time to pray,
Father, keep us safe this night he says,
Sleep my child and know that I will always be with you.
Sleep my child.
