All Through The Night
Year: 1784
Written By: Traditional
'All Through The
Night' was an 18th century traditional Welsh folk song
called 'Ar Hyd y Nos' which was not originally written as a
Christmas carol but has developed into one over the years. The
lyrics may have changed but the air remains the same as originally
intended.
'All Through
The Night' have been sung by several artists including Christmas
favourite Perry Como, whose slow inspirational version exhibits all
the qualities of the singers' wholesome voice. In 2007, Olivia
Newton-John teamed up with Michael McDonald on her 'Christmas Wish'
album, which included a piano tinkling take of the
carol.
All Through The Night 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 steeping,
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...
O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night...
