Sleep Soundly, Peacefully
living together you and I
create a shelter for our child
and all the dangers of the sky
and all the terrors of the world
we must withstand, we must withhold
that he sleep soundly, peacefully
moving together, separately
we must reach a single home
we must be a unity
to be a place where he may come
without distress and without harm
and sleep here soundly, peacefully
pull back the net and let me see
the marvellous terror of his trust
and darling, stand here close to me
who is the owner, who the guest?
we two are in a place most blessed
he sleeps here soundly, peacefully
