1. Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee, All through the night. Guardian angels, God will send thee, All through the night. Soft and drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and dale in slumber sleeping. I, my loving vi gil keeping, All through the night.
2. While the moon her watch is keeping, All through the night. While the weary world is sleeping, All through the night. O'er they spirit gently stealing, Visions of delight revealing, Breaths a pure and holy feeling, All through the night.
3. 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.
