A Prayer at bedtime
Jesus Lord, may I offer you
Everything I say and do —
The windows that I washed today;
The times I paused with you to pray
The rosary in which I had a part,
For Mary and your Sacred Heart.
.
Dear Lord, this nodding of my head,
Says I guess I'd better go to bed.
Good night Jesus. Take, please do,
These little things I give to you.
I hope tomorrow to do more —
We’ll see what it may have in store.
Mass again, the Host, the hope;
These holy things will help me cope
With pain, or accident, or sorrow
That may be mine upon the morrow.
I look deep down into your eyes,
Ah! Joy and rapture I realize.
So close to you as this to be
Is EVERTHING in life to me.
Dear Lord God, you are the most!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
And now, back up to what I said,
It's time I'd better go to bed.
I love you.
Good night dear Jesus..
