Michael Card Shut Your Lamps Lyrics

Long ago, there was a battle
And the victor guaranteed
Those who chose to fight beside Him would lie down in perfect peace
Now this day is nearly over, soon the sun will disappear
His mighty ones are watching over, there is nothing you should fear
Shut your lamps and close your eyes, cease your gurning, don't you cry
Leave the battle far away, sleep until the break of day Shut your lamps and close your eyes, cease your gurning, don't you cry
Leave the battle far away, sleep until the break of day
It's over now my little soldier, listen to this lullaby
Loving arms will safely hold you underneath this moonless sky
As the darkness wraps around you, silent, you no longer weep
The angels watch without a sound, as gently now you fall asleep
