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 God his loving vigil keeping All through the night While the moon her watch is keeping All through the night As the weary world is sleeping All through the night To your dreams you're swiftly stealing Visions of delight revealing Christmastime is so appealing All through the night You, my child, a babe of wonder All through the night Dreams you dream can break asunder All through the night Children's dreams they can be broken Life is but a lovely token Christmas should be softly spoken All through the night All through the night All through the night All through the night All through the night
