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.
