When your parents tuck you inAnd listen to your prayers,There is no need to be afraidOf any nighttime terrors.

Morning start-up

Praying to God each morningAnd listening for His planWe'll hear His angel messagesBefore we talk with man.

Waking thoughts

May our loving God prove nearer,May my view of Him be clearer,And my fellowman much dearerThan yesterday to me.
Let joy enhance our morning,Let Love fulfill our day;Let grace and sweet humilityBe ours along the way.

Gentle angels

Angels are a gentle wayfor God to speak to man.

In the morning

When, in the morning, I awake,God's path of Life and Truth I'll take,With joy my daily tasks assume,And for His love make ample room.

Gratitude

Sing praises, O wanderer, heartsore and weary,Traversing the desert Despair;Sing praises to God though your pathway seems dreary,The burden too heavy to bear.
