Sleep, my child and peace attend thee   All through the night   Guardian angels God will send thee   All through the night      Soft the drowsy hours are creeping   Hill and dale in slumber sleeping   I my loving vigil keeping   All through the night      While the moon her watch is keeping   All through the night   While the weary world is sleeping   All through the night      Over thy spirit gently stealing   Visions of delight revealing   Breathes a pure and holy feeling   All through the night      Though I roam a minstrel lonely   All through the night   My true harp shall praise sing only   All through the night      Love's young dream alas is over   Yet my strains of love shall hover   Near the presence of my lover   All through the night      Hark, a solemn bell is ringing   Clear through the night   Thou, my love, art heavenward winging   Home through the night      Earthly dust from off thee shaken   Soul immortal shalt thou awaken   With thy last dim journey taken   Home through the night      Sleep, my child and peace attend thee   All through the night   Guardian angels God will send thee   All through the night      Soft the drowsy hours are creeping   Hill and dale in slumber sleeping   I my loving vigil keeping   All through the night
