Bedtime Prayers for Children

Bedtime Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep

Through the twilight, and dark so deep

Earth and Water, Fire and Air

Stay with me while Mom's not there

Elements guide me through the night

And leave with thanks at mornings light

Bedtime Prayer To Keep Nightmares Away

Mother Earth and Father Sky

Cradle me here where I lie.

Keep me safe the whole night long

As I rest in your arms so strong.

Mother Earth and Father Sky

Keep me safe here where I lie.

Bedtime Prayer

Day is done, it's time for bed

Goddess bless my sleepy head

Earth and Water, Air and Fire

Bring gentle dreams as I retire

When the morning sun does rise

The God will bless my open eyes
