All Through the Night (Ar hyd y nos)

Music: Welsh tune
Words: Walter Maynard 


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 creepig,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
Love 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 strains 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, art heav'nward winging,
Home through the night.
Earthly dust from off thee shaken,
Soul immortal thou shall waken,
Will thy last dim journey taken,
Home through the night.
