"Sleep My Child" lyrics

Sleep, my child
Rest your tiny head upon my shoulder
Close your eyes
Dream your dreams
And when the dawn
Brings its morning light to gently wake you
Call on me and I'll be there

And we can laugh and play
For another day
'Til it's time to sleep again

But now, sleep, my child
And know that I will always be with you

And we can laugh and play
For another day
'Til it's time to sleep again

But now, sleep, my child
And know that I will always be with you

Sleep, my child
And may the grace of God surround you
Hold you through the night
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"

Mmm-mmm...
Mmm-mmm...
Sleep, my child
