When all the world has come to a halt,
The pains of life are over, the sun
Rises and sets, day after day,
Week after week, morning after rainy morning,
When heat can mount and cold can strike its weary hand across,
Turning everything cold, you are there.
You will hold this cross daylight to dark, dark to daylight. You can protect my memory, hold it in solemn hands, and keep my body from further injury, by placing your body before mine.
Sleep with the best thoughts, Dream the dreams of peace and solace, keep me, keeping you, with us. Your years of holding will not go without reward, your prayers of peace and stillness will not go unanswered, you are the blessing desired.
