Sleep my love and peace attend thee, All through the night Guardian angels God will lend thee, All through the night; Soft the lowly 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. Angels watching, ever ‘round thee, All through the night In thy slumber close surround thee, All through the night They should of all fear disarm thee No foreboding should alarm thee They will let no peril harm thee All through the night. Love, to thee my thoughts are turning All through the night All for thee my heart is yearning All through the night Though sad fate our lives may sever Parting will not last forever There’s a hope that leaves me never All through the night.
