Snakes
01:14
|

|
Snakes have holes, lions have dens,
Fuzzy chicks sleep under hens,
Doves at night return to nest:
Evening is the time for rest.
Sinking sun is setting soon
Then will rule the paler moon,
Owls and cats and ‘coons will play
In the moon their lesser day.
You, my child, live in the light.
You may not be wild by night!
In the day you’ll play and jest:
Evening is the time for rest!

Horizons

|

|
Red, orange, yellow, start the day,
Yellow, green, blue the colors of play.
Green, blue, purple lead to night,
Blue purple red return to dawn and light.

Time for Everything
02:19
|
|||
|
Sun has set, moon will rise,
You are weary, close your eyes.
All of life in order keep:
Now is time to go to sleep.
Morn will come, with the day:
That will be the time to play.
Time to sing and dance and leap:
Now is time to go to sleep.

Guide Us Waking

|
(from The Book of Common Prayer)
Guide us waking, O Lord,
And guard us sleeping.
That awake we may watch with Christ,
And asleep we may rest in peace.

Lighten Our Darkness
01:00
|
|||
|
(from The Book of Common Prayer)
Lighten our darkness O Lord, we pray,
And in your great mercy defend us
From all perils and dangers of this night
For the love of your only son
Our savior Jesus Christ.

Watch O Lord
03:40
|
|||
|
(St. Augustine)
Watch, O Lord, with those who wake,
or watch, or weep tonight,
and give Your angels and saints
charge over those who sleep.
Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Your joyous ones,
And all for Your love's sake.

Shades of Blue
03:18
|
|||
|
Shades of blue and shades of grey
Deepen in the close of day
Blanketing the earth and sky:
Go to sleep; do not cry.
Pass the night in quiet peace
Morn will come and then release
Brilliant hues in early light:
Sleep till then; all the night.
