Lie Down and Sleep

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Within the stillness of the night

I hear the crickets sing,

I hear the wind chimes start the song

The evening breezes bring.

 

Oh Lord, I’m resting in the peace

That comes at end of day

When all the worries of my week

Are neatly tucked away.

 

I know that they’ll be back again

When I start tomorrow,

But, for tonight, I’ll rest without

That worry or sorrow.

 

I’ll rest within the quiet night,

My trust I place in You,

And in the dawn I’ll rise once more

To start my work anew.

 

Psalm 4:8

In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
