Good night prayer

Sleep sweetly in this quiet room, O thou, whoe’er thou art;

And let no mournful yesterdays disturb thy peaceful heart;

Nor let tomorrow scare thy rest with dreams of coming ill,

Thy Maker is thy changeless friend, His love surrounds thee still;

Forget thyself and all the world, put out the glaring light;

The stars are watching overhead, sleep sweetly,then—Goodnight.
