GOOD NIGHT

GOOD NIGHT

I peeped in to say good night
Just before you turn off the light
I've sent angels to attend to you
Not one, not two, but twenty two
To protect and guard you while you sleep
And surround your bed like wooly sheep

Now before your love will my heart consume
Let me on my knees, my prayers resume
And beseech the Father His blessings to flood
Upon my beloved with Emmanuel's blood

Now may your sleep be dreamily bright
And my love infest you like a terrible blight
May all your wishes come out so true
And may the day break because of you
