"Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I shall die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take".
Psalm 23: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside still waters, He restorers my soul, He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yeah, though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me, Thou prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen
