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
