WHIRING WHEELS by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY

First Line: LORD, WHEN ON MY BED I LIE
Last Line: I WILL TURN TO SLEEP AGAIN.
Subject(s): PRAYER; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

Lord, when on my bed I lie,
Sleepless, unto Thee I'll cry;
When my brain works overmuch,
Stay the wheels with Thy soft touch.

Just a quiet thought of Thee,
And of Thy sweet charity, --
Just a little prayer, and then
I will turn to sleep again.
