歌詞

The lane has lit its little lamps

And home has lit its own

Across the way the windows glow

One amber, then one more

My own lamp answers from the wall

The way it did before

The sky's gone navy, deep and soft

The cup is nearly through

Homebound, wrapped in lamplight

This is where I'm kept

In peace I lie me down to sleep

For He alone keeps watch

The little lamb has climbed my lap

The window's work is done

It yawns a tiny woolly yawn

And curls up like a bun

The plate is bare, the pot is cool

The sunset was a gift

Homebound, wrapped in lamplight

This is where I'm kept

In peace I lie me down to sleep

For He alone keeps watch

In peace I both lie down and sleep

The psalm has said it well

For He alone makes me to dwell

In safety where I dwell

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Homebound, wrapped in lamplight

This is where I'm kept

In peace I lie me down to sleep

For He alone keeps watch

Homebound, wrapped in lamplight

This is where I'm kept

In peace I lie me down to sleep

For He alone keeps watch

The lane has lit its little lamps

And I am home, and kept
