Comes the time for lights to dim
Prayers and pillows, evening hymns
Cares and worries, joys and plans –
Time to leave them in His hands
Trust in Him upon your bed
On His promise rest your head
In His peace lie down and sleep
Through the night His watch He'll keep
Painful labor, sleepless eyes –
These won't make you rich or wise
But even now, and all night through
While you sleep God gives to you
So, in His peace lie down and sleep
Through the night His watch He'll keep
Cares and worries, joys and plans –
Leave them all now in His hands
Cares and worries, joys and plans –
Leave them all now in His hands.
