Lay Still My Child

 Lay still now thy tender head,
And approach the gates with glee.
Fear not for the one true god,
Is always watching over thee.

Lie still in thy slumber,
From hence you shall not wake.
Embrace release and relief from here,
And let slip all thy mistakes.

Go merrily into paradise,
To hills of assurance and light.
Call upon your loving and forgiving god,
And take him with all of thy might.

Sleep here now in this peaceful realm,
Made entirely just for you.
And sleep soundly young one,
For your loved ones will soon sleep too.
