So Sleep My Child

So Sleep My Child So sleep my child as sun does go down And there is much darkness all around Now sweet child before you start to sleep Always ask kind Lord your soul to keep. God will protect you through the night What you shall see is full of delight Countless bright stars up in the sky And will soon fall asleep bye and bye. Quiet it now is for all does stand still While moon shines down on window sill Nothing has moved yet still it seems He's gone off to land of many dreams. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
