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
