Lullabye

Chloe loves this song, actually a hymn...sometimes I sing it to her at bedtime.I only know the tune because it was in "Little Women" (Winona Ryder version).

But it's so beautiful and it makes me feel peaceful when I sing it to her.

For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.


Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light


Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

(Words: Folliot Sandford Pierpoint)

There are more verses but these are the two that I sort of know.
Now, if only this (or something) would bring about the return of my perfect sleeper...
