Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee
All through the night.
With his hammer Thor defend thee
All through the night.
Mani through the sky is creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping,
I my loved one's watch am keeping
All through the night.
Hearken to the crickets singing
All through the night.
Overhead the owls are winging
All through the night.
Mani through the sky is creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping,
I my loved one's watch am keeping
All through the night.
Watchful dises guard around thee
All through the night.
With their web of love surround thee
All through the night.
Mani through the sky is creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping,
I my loved one's watch am keeping
All through the night.
Rest ye well with dreams untroubled
All through the night.
That ye wake with gladness doubled
In morning's light.
Mani through the sky is creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping,
I my loved one's watch am keeping
All through the night.
