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 steeping,
   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 .
