Baby night time prayers

Here are 10 popular bedtime prayers to teach your children. Don’t use these prayers just to give your children something to say before going to bed. Help your children learn what these prayers mean and why we pray. Obviously, we can pray any time of the day, but having a set time where we teach our children to pray may help instill in them a lifetime habit of talking with the Lord.

I have attributed some of these prayers to their authors. If you know who the original author of the other prayers are, please include their names in the comments below. Or, if you know which book they originally appeared in, leave us a comment.

Don’t use these prayers just to give your children something to say before going to bed. Help your children learn what these prayers mean and why we pray.

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

Some people may find this prayer a little too heavy for little children, however it is probably one of the best-known prayers that children say at night.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Now the Light has Gone Away

Now the light has gone away;

Savior, listen while I pray. Asking Thee to watch and keep And to send me quiet sleep.

Jesus, Savior, wash away

All that has been wrong to-day; Help me every day to be Good and gentle, more like Thee.

Let my near and dear ones be

Always near and dear to Thee. O bring me and all I love To Thy happy home above.

The Day is Done

The day is done;

O God the Son, Look down upon Thy little one!

O Light of Light,

Keep me this night, And shed round me Thy presence bright.

I need not fear

If Thou art near; Thou art my Savior Kind and dear.

Forgive, O Lord

Forgive, O Lord, for Thy dear Son

The ill that I this day have done. That with the world, myself, and Thee I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

Jesus, Tender Shepherd

Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me:

Bless Thy little child to-night; Through the darkness be Thou near me, Keep me safe till morning light.

All this day Thy hand has led me,

And I thank Thee for Thy care; Thou hast warmed me, clothed me, fed me; Listen to my evening prayer.

May my sins be all forgiven;

Bless the friends I love so well; Take me, Lord, at last to heaven. Happy there with Thee to dwell.

Our Father Who Art in Heaven

Our Father, Who art in Heaven

Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil.

Lord, I have Passed Another Day

Lord, I have passed another day

And come to thank Thee for Thy care. Forgive my faults in work or play And listen to my evening prayer. Thy favor gives me daily bread And friends, who all my wants supply: And safely now I rest my head, Preserved and guarded by Thine eye.

Father, We Thank Thee

Father, we thank thee for the night,

And for the pleasant morning light; For rest and food and loving care, And all that makes the day so fair.

Help us to do the things we should,

To be to others kind and good; In all we do, in work or play, To grow more loving every day.

Rebecca Weston – 1890

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,

The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes; I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay

Close by me forever, and love me, I pray; Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there.

James Murry and John T. McFarland 1887

Abide With Me

Abide With Me is a song that was not written as a bedtime prayer, rather, as a farewell to this world. Henry F. Lyte was dying with tuberculosis in 1847. These beautiful words can be taught as a prayer full of great Bible teaching.

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;

The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;

Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;

But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free. Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,

But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings, Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea, Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile;

And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee, On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;

Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Henry F. Lyte 1847

Good Night Wishes for Lover

Goodnight Text Messages for Her: When you love someone, it is important to show them how you feel, any chance that you get. Woman love to be told just how loved and important she is to her significant other.

and my heart is swollen with anticipation for the many sunsets
that we have yet to experience with one another.
Goodnight, baby!

The night time—for me—is most difficult,
for it is time that I must spend apart from you,
my enchanting dream.
Missing you… goodnight!

Thank you, my divine angel,
for every night you have lulled me to sleep with the sound of your voice,
every morning I have awoken to your tender embrace;
my only prayer to you, my angel,
is that I may devote every night I am given, to you.

You are the queen of my heart,
and every pulse that beats within me beats only for you.
Even in the dark of the night,
your radiance outshines the stars.

As the moon sits high above the clouds,
I gaze up into its beauty and find myself thinking of you,
for you are more luminous.

Goodnight Text Messages for Him

cute ways to say goodnight over text to your boyfriend then here is a great collection of goodnight love quotes for him.

You, my love, are more luminous than the moon,
more breathtaking than the stars,
more magnificent than the cosmos and all its mysteries;
you are my universe and I love you.

If the stars really could be wished upon,
I would spend every wish on you.
But tonight, I wish for you restful sleep,
undisturbed by all the worries of this world.
And for me, my only wish, is to dream of you.

When I close my eyes, I see you.
When I dream, it is of your beautiful face.
When I awaken, it is your embrace that I long for.
You are the tranquil moon, the sparkling stars;
you are the essence of my dreams.

How I love the stars—
so remarkable and serene but —
none can shine as bright as your eyes do tonight.

I never want to say goodnight.
My life, without you, has no light.
If my room were the sky itself,
you’d be the stars shining bright.

Even the most beautiful of lilies must close their petals and fall asleep with the sun,
only to awaken all the more beautiful in the morning’s warmth.
So I will not grieve when I cannot be with you in the night,
but instead I wish you a peaceful sleep.

Nothing in the world compares
to the alluring wonder of your resting face.
Sleep sweetly, my love.
