sleep my little one sleep

sleep my little one sleep from vigil i keep .
lie warm in thy nest by boobeams caress. when the morn tints the sky , god will bid thee a rise when the morn tints the sky god will bid thee a rise . holy angels above all night by thy side in dreams they unfold , heavens porktalsof gold when the morn tints the sky god will bid thee a rise . when the morn tints the sky god will bid thee a rise .
p.s. im not sure if the words are all correct but i would appreciate the correct words and all the lyrics and verses to this my favourite of all lullabys . and i wish to be able to sing it correctly to my grand children . i hope u are able to help me i have always wondered about the other verses and correct words . i was taught to sing this at my school when i was 6 yrs of age . and sadly dont remember all the correct words . thank u .

Correct words
by: Bob J

The correct 1st verse is:

Sleep my little one sleep fond vigil I keep, lie warm in thy nest by moonbeams caressed. When the dawn tints the sky god will bid thee arise, when the dawn tints the sky god will bid thee arise

I remember singing this at school and the only difference I note was we sang 'fond vigil' not for on vigil

Sleep my little one.
by: Jeannie

Sleep my little one sleep, for on vigil I keep.
Lie warm in thy nest, while moonbeams caress.
When the morn tints the sky, God will bid thee arise:
When the morn tints the sky
God will bid thee arise.

Holy angels abide all night by thy side:
In dreams they unfold , heavens portals of gold.
Slumber softly at rest, in thy dreamland so blest,
Slumber softly at rest, in thy dreamland so blest

Sung to the music of Brahms Lullaby.
I used to sing this to both my children to get them to sleep, and it worked every time.
I learned this at school
