To sleep.... perchance to dream

In sleep may my body be rested.
In sleep may my soul be renewed.
In sleep may my dreams be carriers of truth,
borne by the night's visiting angels.
In sleep may I know you in love, O God,
in sleep may I be known by you,
the Lover of every living soul this night,
the Lover of my ever living soul.


from Sounds of the Eternal, A Celtic Psalter
