Sleep my love 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 dale in slumber sleeping
I my loved ones' watch am keeping,
All through the night
Hark, a solemn bell is ringing
Clear through the night
Now, my love, I’m heavenward winging
Home through the night
Earthly dust from off me shaken
My soul immortal shall awaken
With my final journey taken
Home through the night
Angels watching ever round thee
All through the night
In thy slumbers close surround thee
All through the night
They will of all fears disarm thee,
No forebodings should alarm thee,
They will let no peril harm thee
All through the night
Background Information
While researching lullabies, I found these verses about the death of a loved one. So often lullabies have sprung from traditional songs and many early lullabies reflected the realities of the death of the mother and/or child in childbirth.
The loss of a baby is unimaginably traumatic, private and personal. Those of us close to the grieving family are often lost for suitable words of support, comfort or consolation. Angel Baby Lullabies provides support and comfort to parents and families in their time of bereavement. The music is simple, soft, gentle, and makes a thoughtful and considerate gift during a very difficult time.
