As Beauty Sleeps

As Beauty sleeps,
I am amazed.
Is she for real,
Or am I dazed?
I love the way,
Hair teases her cheek,
Lips slightly move,
As, peaceful, she breathes.
God, thankful praise,
Is yours tonight.
For through the years,
I’ll be by her side.

As Beauty sleeps,
I lift up praise.
She’s mine for keeps,
All doubt is erased.
I have died,
For her I breathe.
In God alone,
I her trust receive.
Help me, Lord,
Love to her be.
Take me, Lord,
And live through me!
