All Through the Night

Traditional Music on page 22

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 sleeping, God His 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. Through your dreams you’re swiftly stealing, Visions of delight revealing, Christmas timelyric is so appealing All through the night.

You, my God, a Babe of wonder downloadableAll through the night; Dreams you dream can’t break from thunder All through the night. sheet Children’s dreams can not be broken, Life is but a lovely token, Christmas should be softly spoken All through the night.

Angels We Have Heard on High

Traditional Music on page 20

Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heav’nly song?

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing. Come adore on bended knee sampleChrist, the Lord, the newborn King. Gloria in excelsis Deo, VF18 Gloria in excelsis Deo.
