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 steeping,
I my loving vigil keeping
All through the night.
While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night
While the weary world is sleeping
All through the night
O'er they spirit gently stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night.
I went to see the film 'Knowing' the other day and the song features. It brought back lots of memories, although if I were to wake up and find angels which look like those in the 'Knowing' are patrolling my bedroom at night, I would be really scared!
I sometimes patrol your bedroom at night, just for fun.
