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 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.      Hark, a solemn bell is ringing,   Clear through the night;   You, my love, are heav'nward winging,   Home through the night.   Earthly dust from off thee shaken,   By good angels art though taken;   Soul immortal shalt though waken,   Home through the night.
