[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
While the moon her watch is keeping all through the night
While the weary world is sleeping all through the night
Through Your dreams You're swiftly stealing, visions of delight revealing
Christmastime is so appealing all through the night

[Verse 3]
You, my God, a Babe of wonder all through the night
Dreams You dream can't break from thunder all through the night
Children's dreams cannot be broken; life is but a lovely token
Christmas should be softly spoken all through the night
