Lay Your Head Down to Sleep

When the fun time is over

When the sunshine is gone

And when the supper is over

I know the full day is done

2.

I close my eyes and wonder

Is my angel by me?

I make the prayer a bit longer

And lay my head down to sleep

3.

Sleep, sleep

Sleep for the night

Sleep, sleep

I lay my head down to sleep

4.

May the guardian of children

Keep vigil at your bedside

And the guardian of all men

Watch o'er you through the night

5.

Peaceful sleep and a good rest

Sweet, sweet dreams through the night

Cause you are favored and well blest

You are blessed from on high

6.

Sleep, sleep

Sleep for the night

Sleep, sleep

Lay your head down to sleep
