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 vale in slumber steeping

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 . .

O'er thy spirit gently stealing

Visions of delight revealing

Breathes a pure and holy feeling

All through the night . .
