Sleep a while and peace attend me
All through the night
Guardian angels god will lend thee
All through the night
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping
God alone his watch is keeping
All through the night
Soft the dreamy hours are creeping
Though I roam a pilgrim lonely
All through the night
My true heart shall praise him only
All through the night
May the angel guards defend us
Slumber sweet his mercy send us
Holy dreams and hopes attend us
All through the night
Hark, a solemn bell is ringing
Clear through the night
Earthly songs are heaven winging
All through the night
When the last dread call shall wake us
God himself will not forsake us
Love as always, safely take us
All through the night
