Now I lay me down to sleep
On a bed of thorns I shall not weep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
wrapped in his warm embrace
If I die before I wake
What a glorious fate
I pray the lord my soul to take
Higher than this mortal plain
To play among the clouds so high
Where angels dance and sparrows fly
In his grace I shall not weep
Kneeling down at his feet
In his embrace I shall not die
Upon his throne sitting so high
In his love I find peace
Now I lay me down to sleep!
