Sleep my love your work is done
And the hour to part is come
Now this journey’s ending go to sleep

Daylight now has left the land
Time flows by like hourglass sand
Place your trust in me and go to sleep, to sleep

Slumber safe, dreamless deep
Give to God your soul to keep
Close your eyes, rest awhile
Steal away this night

Though it hurts to see you leave
And I know my heart must grieve
Comfort will await you as you sleep...sleep
I’m here to hold you as you fall asleep
