All Through the Night

Sleep

my love

and peace at­tend thee

All through the night;

Guardian an­gels God will lend thee

All through the night;

Soft the drow­sy hours are creep­ing

Hill and dale in slum­ber sleep­ing;

Love alone his watch is keep­ing—

All through the night.

Though I roam a min­strel lone­ly

All through the night;

My true harp shall praise thee 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 thou shalt wak­en

With thy last dim jour­ney taken

Home through the night.
