The first verse

Words: Harold Boulton (1884)Tune: traditional Welsh, "Ar Hyd y Nos" (printed 1784)

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 creeping,Hill and dale in slumber steeping,Love alone his watch is keeping,All through the night.
