Until the Morning's Dew

When my eyelids fall so heavy
And my thoughts are all of You,
I know I'll soon be sleeping
until the morning's dew.

The moonlight falls so quietly
upon my windowpane
and the stars begin to twinkle
as the angels say Your name.

I try so hard to stay awake
So I can really pray,
but You calm my restless spirit so
I have no words to say.

Just know that I do love You
and pray within my dreams,
that I'll see You in the morning
when the morning dewdrops gleam.
