Ere thou sleepest, gently lay
 Every troubled thought away.
 Put off worry and distress
 As thou puttest off thy dress.
 Drop thy worry and thy care
 In the quiet arms of prayer.
 Lord, thou knowest how I live;
 All I've done amiss,forgive;
 All the good I;ve tried to do
 Hallow, bless, and carry through.
 All I love in safety keep,
 While, in thee, I fall asleep.
