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,
Mother dear her watch is keeping,
All through the night
God is here, thou'lt not be lonely
All through the night
'Tis not I who guards thee only
All through the night
Night's dark shades will soon be over,
Still my watchful care shall hover
God with me his watch is keeping,
All through the night
