Child's Prayer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Should I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
[Chorus:]
But if angels come to say
I might live another day
Then down on my knees I'll pray
Blessed Savior guide my way
God bless mom and daddy too
Wish that I was there with you
Grandma and brother, dear
Missed you these many years
[Chorus]
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
