Slumber’s Watch Keep

Our wise Mother in Heaven
In her quiet elegance
Visits her sleeping children
And sees what we are up against

In our dream world of sleep
She covers us with love
And we feel, more than know
That soft touch from above

Snuggle deep in rest

Curl up as a child

Smile. You are blessed

By Mother-in-Heaven all the while

Verse 1] Our wise Mother in Heaven In her quiet elegance Visits her sleeping children And sees what we are up against In our dream world of sleep She covers us with love And we feel, more than know That soft touch from above [Pre-Chorus] Snuggle deep in rest Curl up as a child Smile, you are blessed Held all the while [Chorus] Mother in Heaven Hold us in the night Mother in Heaven Keep us in your light Soft touch from above Soft touch from above Mother in Heaven We are safe in love [Verse 2] When the room grows still And the shadows move slow You gather up our fear And calm what we don’t know Every little breath Every trembling dream You’re nearer than our thoughts Closer than it seems [Pre-Chorus] Snuggle deep in rest Curl up as a child Smile, you are blessed Held all the while [Chorus] Mother in Heaven Hold us in the night Mother in Heaven Keep us in your light Soft touch from above Soft touch from above Mother in Heaven We are safe in love [Bridge] In the quiet hour When the dark feels wide You stay by our bed And lay your hand beside [Final Chorus] Mother in Heaven Hold us in the night Mother in Heaven Keep us in your light Soft touch from above Soft touch from above Mother in Heaven We are safe in love
