Sleep My Child and Peace Attend Thee All through the Night

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 dale in slumber sleeping.

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.

Over thy spirit gently stealing,

Visions of delight revealing,

Breathes a pure and holy feeling,

All through the night.

Through your dreams you're softly stealing,

Visions of delight revealing,

Life is good and so appealing,

All through the night.

All through the Night Lullaby, Edward Jones 1784

Star light, star bright,

First star I see tonight,

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Have the wish I wish tonight.

The world is full of troubles and worries that can keep you up at night.

So many changes and transitions can make it difficult to turn off 

the thinking and machinations going on behind your eyes. 

Yet in troubled times the most important thing you can do 

to successfully navigate life is to get restful sleep. 

As change and difficulties are a natural part of life

you must learn ways to turn off your mind 

so you can tumble into deep, peaceful slumber.

Try reciting this restful lullaby to the child within you.

Let the world turn softly while you sleep. 

Allow your guardian angels to watch over you.

Breath a pure and holy feeling all through the night.

Let go.

Sleep.
