All the little birds are sleeping in their nests.
The bugs and bees have folded up their wings to rest.
Hear the little owl, tis calling.
And the dew is gently falling.
Night is settling silently down.
In the country and in the town.
Close those eyes and get some rest.
Knowing that God gives His best.
Now for the children`s sake I pray.
Help me guide them day by day.
Time to thank God for this peaceful night.
Keep us safe till morning light.
