Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Some people may find this prayer a little too heavy for little children, however it is probably one of the best-known prayers that children say at night. Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Now the Light has Gone Away Now the light has gone away; Savior, listen while I pray. Asking Thee to watch and keep And to send me quiet sleep. Jesus, Savior, wash away All that has been wrong to-day; Help me every day to be Good and gentle, more like Thee. Let my near and dear ones be Always near and dear to Thee. O bring me and all I love To Thy happy home above. The Day is Done The day is done; O God the Son, Look down upon Thy little one! O Light of Light, Keep me this night, And shed round me Thy presence bright. I need not fear If Thou art near; Thou art my Savior Kind and dear. Forgive, O Lord Forgive, O Lord, for Thy dear Son The ill that I this day have done. That with the world, myself, and Thee I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. Jesus, Tender Shepherd Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me: Bless Thy little child to-night; Through the darkness be Thou near me, Keep me safe till morning light. All this day Thy hand has led me, And I thank Thee for Thy care; Thou hast warmed me, clothed me, fed me; Listen to my evening prayer. May my sins be all forgiven; Bless the friends I love so well; Take me, Lord, at last to heaven. Happy there with Thee to dwell. Our Father Who Art in Heaven Our Father, Who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil. Lord, I have Passed Another Day Lord, I have passed another day And come to thank Thee for Thy care. Forgive my faults in work or play And listen to my evening prayer. Thy favor gives me daily bread And friends, who all my wants supply: And safely now I rest my head, Preserved and guarded by Thine eye. Father, We Thank Thee Father, we thank thee for the night, And for the pleasant morning light; For rest and food and loving care, And all that makes the day so fair. Help us to do the things we should, To be to others kind and good; In all we do, in work or play, To grow more loving every day. Rebecca Weston – 1890 Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes; I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray; Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there.
