All 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 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 they spirit gently stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night

Love, to thee my thoughts are turning
All through the night
All for thee my heart is yearning,
All through the night

Though sad fate our lives may sever
Parting will not last forever,
There's a hope that leaves me never,
All through the night.

-Harold Edwin Boulton (1859-1935)
