Traditional late 18th century Welsh folk song. Several lyric versions out there so apologies
to any Welsh folk if I have used the 'wrong' lyrics!
In the first 2 lines of the bridges it is possible to omit the chords and just play the
, , and and it still sounds ok imho.
=
Sleep my child and peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee
All through the night
Bridge 1
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping
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
Bridge 2
O'er thy spirit gently stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night
Love to thee my thoughts are turning
All through the night
All for thee my heart is yearning
All through the night
Bridge 3
Though sad fate our lives may sever
Parting will not last forever
There's a hope that leaves me never
All through the night
