Good night, my child,
I'll look after you.
So you may sleep well,
This whole night through.

I heard you pray, child,
Often today.
I was there with you,
Each time you prayed.

I kept you from falling.
I calmed your fears.
When you were hurting,
I dried your tears.

I give you my promise,
Like yesterday.
I'll be here tomorrow,
Just as today.
