Recasting its ancient vigil with harp, celesta, and subterranean bass underscores the tune’s enduring power and affirms how songs of old continue to resonate in modern soundscapes. [Intro] 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, I my loving vigil keeping, All through the night. [Verse 1] While the moon her watch is keeping, All through the night; While the weary world is sleeping, All through the night. O’er thy spirit gently stealing, Visions of delight revealing, Breathes a pure and holy feeling, All through the night. [Hook] All through the night. (All through the night) All through the night. All through the night. [Verse 2] Deep the silence round us spreading, All through the night; Dark the path that we are treading, All through the night. Still the coming day discerning, By the hope within us burning, To the dawn our footsteps turning, All through the night. [Outro] Star of Faith the dark adorning, Leads us fearless toward the morning, Though our hearts be wrapped in sorrow, From the home of dawn we borrow, Promise of a glad tomorrow, All through the night. [Hook] All through the night. All through the night. All through the night. [fade to end]
