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 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; O'er thy spirit gently stealing, Visions of delight revealing, Breathes a pure and holy feeling, All through the night. Hark, a solemn bell is ringing, Clear through the night; You, my love, are heav'nward winging, Home through the night. Earthly dust from off thee shaken, By good angels art though taken; Soul immortal shalt though waken, Home through the night.
