|
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 |
