All Through The Night

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 vale in slumber sleeping,
God 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 strings 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, are heav'nward winging,
Home through the night.
Earthly dust from off thee shaken,
Soul immortal though shalt waken,
With thy last dim journey taken
Home through the night
