The Nightwatch Lyrics

Bright stars are watching the world as it sleeps Shepherds watch over the little white sheep The lighthouse is shining for ships far at sea As God keeps the nightwatch for you and for me CHORUS: So, sleep, sleep, in peace and rest Don't be afraid of the darkness All's well for over the land and the sea God's keeping the nightwatch for you and for me Dreams you have cherished are broken and gone Life's dearest treasures have all been withdrawn But when it's the darkest He's nearest to thee For God keeps the nightwatch for you and for me CHORUS God's keeping the nightwatch for you and for me
