A Bedtime Prayer For the Homeless

Star light star bright first star I see tonight I wish I may I wish I might Find a place that has a room Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Remember me as I was It's cold outside Please let me in I have no place to go It may not be A wind chill night But, the clouds all look like snow The day is done; O God the Son, Look down upon Thy little one! O Light of Light, Keep me this night, And help me greet the day Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me: Bless Thy child to-night; Through the darkness be Thou near me, Keep me safe till morning light. All this day Thy hand has led me, And I thank Thee for Thy care; Thou hast warmed me, clothed me, fed me; Listen to my evening prayer Star light star bright first star I see tonight I wish I may I wish I might Find a place that has a room Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Remember me as I was
