As the evening fast approachesAnd I pray for youAnd the night aheadI wish only the very best for youAs I lay you down to bedAt the end of this long and tiring dayAs you settle downAnd slumber deepI wish only the very best for youAs I lay you down to sleepIn the soft evening sunlightSo much joy I cannot sayLike the warm scent of jasmineAt the end of the dayMay the Lord always watch over youKeep and guard youEver safe from harmMay His face ever shine upon youMay His angels keep you warmMay the peace of the Holy Lord aboveBathe you ever inIts gentle lightMay His grace be ever presentAnd comfort you tonight
