Hester's Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my heart, your love to keep.
Your arms to hold me through the night,
And keep me safe till morning's light.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my heart, your love to keep.
Your sense to guard me through the night,
And keep me safe till morning's light.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my heart, your love to keep.
Your blood to warm me through the night,
And keep me safe till morning's light.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my heart, your love to keep.
Your kiss to heal my soul, my  pains.
Oh cleanse my deeds, my love,  of their foul stains.

 If,  I should live another day,
I pray your hand in mine to guide my way.
