There are two versions, the latter one I will display is considered more "appropriate" for the children.
...the LORD my soul to keep
and if I die before I wake
I pray the LORD
my soul to take!
Amen.
kidz version:
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the LORD-my soul to keep-
May angels watch me thru the night
and keep me in their blessed sight. AMEN.
I am unsure if there be extended versions....but these are most commonly used.
GOD BLESS YOU,
I use the first and original one for my four children, there is no need to hide, per se, the truth of who is GUARDIAN _ CREATOR AND KEEPER OF THE ETERNAL SOUL OF A CHILD!~

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. If I should live for other days, I pray the Lord to guide my ways.

Lord Jesus!
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray you Lord my dreams to keep;
with sealed instructions full of grace,
and angels that behold your face.
And should I be unbound, or returned
upon this shore. I know that you abide
with me -- just now and ever more.
