Now you lay me down to sleep
You pray the Lord my soul to keep
But no fear shall come to your mind
Because if you think, you will find
While I rest in His arms
I'll be safe from harm
Heaven is beautiful
Oh, yes, it's just great
I can't wait to see you
At the white, pearly gates
I hope you know the prayers
Which everyday you should feel
Are given to you from your dearest
But, first, let Jesus take the wheel
Eternal life is amazing
Yes, it's just grand!
Hurry up now
You don't want to miss the Promised Land!
To all my babies
Who sit here and cry
Say, it's good to keep living
You're never too young to fly
Hold fast to the day
When the trumpet blows
We'll see Jesus' face
And all of the world goes
Down into flames
Yes, down into Hell
The world will be like Alice
Who fell down the well
Now I give you my peace and my blessing
Whose whisper in your ear, to your heart
Is carressing
The scars will mend
By His blood and his oil
Healing is around the bend
Where your trials shall recoil
Oh, this is goodbye
But it's not the last
If you take anything, my children
It's to Hold Fast
