All Through The Night

Words & Music:

Traditional Welsh

 

C         Am         F       G7

Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee

F   G7          C

All through the night.

C        Am     F        G7

Guardian angels God will send thee

F   G7          C

All through the night.

 

Soft and drowsy hours are creeping.

Hill and dale in slumber sleeping.

I, my longing vigil keeping

All through the night.

 

This great weary world in sleep lies

All through the night.

While my joy in thee wets my eyes

All through the night.

 

O'er thy spirit gently stealing

Visions of the light revealing.

Breathe a pure and holy feeling

All through the night.
