Prayer For Ukraine

Child, be still, and sleep,
pray that war may cease.
May arms be laid to rest,
lay your weary head.

Child, know you, are loved,
on earth, and heaven above.
May mercy offer you protection,
may grace grant us an intercession.

Child, you are not alone,
out there's a big, magnificent world.
One day, God willing, you shall see,
a peaceful world, unchained and free.

Child, as you now do sleep,
I'll pray and tenderly weep.
Not knowing what the future will hold,
but asking God for strength to be bold.
