O little one, take your rest, deeply sleep in the arms of the Holy Lord
May the angels watch over you in the night
O little one, time to rest, it is time to leave business behind
May the angels watch over you in the night

O tired one, may the peace of the night ready you for the day ahead
May the angels watch over you in the night
O joyful one, let your soul be glad of the Lord as I sing you to sleep
May the angels watch over you in the night
