Lullaby for Talitha

January 1, 2001 | by John Piper | Topic: Children

Sung to the tune of "If Thou But Suffer God to Guide Thee"

Come rest your head and nestle gently
And do not fear the dark of night;
Almighty God keeps watch intently
And guards your life with all his might.
Doubt not his love nor power to keep,
He never fails nor does he sleep.
