All Through The Night Lyrics - Jane Siberry

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 dale 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 

Over thy spirit gently stealing 

Visions of delight revealing 

Breathes a pure and holy feeling 

All through the night 

Though I roam a minstrel lonely 

All through the night 

My true harp shall praise sing only 

All through the night 

Love's young dream alas is over 

Yet my strains of love shall hover 

Near the presence of my lover 

All through the night 

Hark, a solemn bell is ringing 

Clear through the night 

Thou, my love, art heavenward winging 

Home through the night 

Earthly dust from off thee shaken 

Soul immortal shalt thou awaken 

With thy last dim journey taken 

Home 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 dale in slumber sleeping 

I my loving vigil keeping 

All through the night
