I Will Lay My Body Down

God of all my consolations

In you perfect peace is found

I will take my rest 

Lay my head on your breast

I will lay my body down

God of satisfying solace

As I abide I will abound

When nightfall takes its toll

My heart you console

As I lay my body down 

God who is my fortress refuge

To my dwelling-place I’m bound

I am safe from harm

In everlasting arms

Where I’ve laid my body down

God of all my heavenly comfort

When I’m laid into the ground

Even then I’m blessed

Entered into rest

When they lay my body down

The eternal God is your dwelling place, 

and underneath are the everlasting arms.” (Deuteronomy 33:27)
