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 vale in slumber sleeping,
I my loved angel 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.
