Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
When at dawn I greet the day
Teach me Lord to walk Thy way.
God bless Mommie, Daddy, too,
Not just now, but all life through.
God bless little creatures small.
Feed and shelter. one and all.
God bless everyone we love
Here on earth and up above
Little children, where'ere they be.
God bless them, and God bless me.
Help me to be kind and true.
Gentle, loving --- just like You.
Let me always thankful be
For all the blessings given me.
