    Little child Jesus come to me
    Little child Jesus come stay with me
    My heart is so small will thee all
    Theres no room for no one only thee.
    Angel guardian keep me near beneath thy snow white wing
    defend me from the evil one and teach me holy things.
    Jesus give the weary sweet and calm response
    guard the sailors tossing on the deep blue
    sea comfort every sufferer watching late and
    pain those who plant some evil
    from their sinful strain
    Four corners on my bed four angels over spread
    St Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
    When in my bed and in my sleep to
    God I give my soul to keep.
