Make my bed

When the evening sun goes down

Give me food from Rachel’s ground

And let all life be followed as it should

 

Let me work

From the break of dawn till dusk

Give me strength to fill my task

And let all life be followed as it should

 

Guide my path

Run my bath

And give me love

I’m only a man on earth 

And I need you

 

Give me faith

To lead an upright honest life

To sleep soundly through the night

And let all life be followed as it should

 

And may my children

And their childrens’ children live

Learn to take and learn to give

And let all life be followed as it should

 

Guide my path

Run my bath

And give me love

I’m only a man on earth 

And I need you

 

Make my bed

When the evening sun goes down

Give me food from Rachel’s ground

And let all life be followed as it should

 

Let me work

From the break of dawn till dusk

Give me strength to fill my task

And let all life be followed as it should
