Good Night, Emily.

Good night, Emily. Sleep tight, Emily.
Jesus keep your dreams.
The God above is the God of love
so little girls sleep in peace.
If ever you should wake up in the middle of the night, remember God is watching you so everything's alright.
(Chorus)
In the morning when when you rise,
the first thing you should do
is thank the Lord with all your heart
for watching over you, watching over you. (chorus)
This lullaby is special to me because I sang it to all four of our children changing the name to fit each child. My daughter now sings it to her daughter, Kailey. Our son sang it to his two children. It is special also because of the truth in it--Jesus does keep our dreams; and we should thank the Lord for the sleep in the night. May God bless you and your children.
