Lull Me To Sleep

I have toiled all day long Now I want to lay my head Rest my body in serene peace As to the world I am dead Having finished my tasks for the day With a heart full of content And clear cut plans for tomorrow Let me joyfully retire to my tent Casting away all weariness In the stillness of this quiet night As I get ready for a night's rest The vision of a new day fills my spirit I see my bed lying neatly laid My eyelids have begun to droop Oh come gentle sleep and lift me up To heaven's height from where I would peep On wings of dreams let me fly Over mountains high and valleys low Winding rivers n' rippling streams Buoyed by breeze which gently blow Let me float as an invisible spirit In the calming stillness of this celestial night Listen to the songs that angels sing Where darkness, allayed by heavenly light
