All Through the Night by Peter C. Lutkin — Lyrics
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,
Love alone his watch is 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

About All Through the Night
This gentle lullaby paints a scene of peaceful sleep, watched over by guardian angels and the moon. The text speaks of soft, drowsy hours, with love keeping watch through the night. As visions of delight are revealed and a holy feeling steals over the spirit, the music conveys a sense of profound serenity and tender care. The SATB arrangement brings a rich warmth to this traditional Welsh folk song, making it an ideal choice for creating a calm and comforting atmosphere. The flowing vocal lines and subtle harmonic shifts capture the essence of a mother soothing her child to sleep, promising protection and peace throughout the darkness.
