When our fourth child was an infant, I would rock and sing to him before bed. I would sing the same old favorites over and over, One night, a tune came to me, and with the help of the much older brothers, we came up with a new lullaby to ease him and his two-year- old brother at bedtime. It soothed them for many years. We hope reading these lyrics (or singing, if you choose) will help soothe your child.

Angel of God,

Angel of God,

My guardian dear,

To whom His love commits me here,

Ever this day be at my side,

To light and guard, to rule and guide.

Amen.
