NIGHT PRAYER FOR CHILDREN
Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who closest my eyes in sleep, my eyelids in slumber.
May it be thy will, Lord my God and God of my fathers, to grant that I lie down in peace and that I rise again to life.
Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.
Blessed be the name of his glorious majesty forever and ever.
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall speak of them when you are sitting at home and when you go on a journey, when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. You shall inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Blessed be the Lord by day; blessed be the Lord by night; blessed be the Lord when we lie down; blessed be the Lord when we rise up.
The Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.
Into thy hand I commit my spirit; O Lord, faithful God, thou savest me.
For thy salvation I hope, O Lord.
