The angels are lighting God's little candles,
Softly they glow as the day says goodbye,
The angels are lighting God's little candles,
We call them stars
They're our friends in the sky.
The cares of the day like clouds roll away,
When stars twinkle through that's curtains of blue,
The angels are lighting God's little candles,
Time all God's children were kneeling to pray.
Dear Jesus as I kneel here tonight with my little dolly by my bed
I'm asking you to listen to me as I pray
Because Jesus I want to thank you for all your kindness to me
And for keeping me so strong and watching over me while I'm at play
And for guiding my mommy and daddy as each long day passes by
'Cause they mean more to me than all the world and its gold
So I pray that you forgive my little sins
Before mommy tucks me in for the night
And Jesus I ask you to please spear me for the new mornings light
Yes, the angels are lighting God's little candles,
Time all God's children were kneeling to pray.
