Jasmine

As the evening fast approaches
And I pray for you
And the night ahead
I wish only the very best for you
As I lay you down to bed
At the end of this long and tiring day
As you settle down
And slumber deep
I wish only the very best for you
As I lay you down to sleep
In the soft evening sunlight
So much joy I cannot say
Like the warm scent of jasmine
At the end of the day
May the Lord always watch over you
Keep and guard you
Ever safe from harm
May His face ever shine upon you
May His angels keep you warm
May the peace of the Holy Lord above
Bathe you ever in
Its gentle light
May His grace be ever present
And comfort you tonight
