Go to sleep my little child
And may you in your slumber find
The peace and love that all mankind
Would for a fleeting moment die.
Rest in peace my little one
May you through God's great covenant bond
Receive the blessings of the son
And lay in heaven's splendor.
And for your soul I pray to God
That you may be the first of thousands.
Righteous paths you would have trod
With my along your side to guide you.
May the Lord in all His mercy
Find it in his grace to save
Despite the sins of all your forebears
And your father, the knave.
