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
|
O'er 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
|
