Oh, I have loved thee with an everlasting love
And the night shall be filled with music
And the cares, that infect the day
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs
And as silently steal away

I loved you so on earth
And surely God will love you more than I
No fear nor dread be yours tonight
My thoughts of you shall spring like tender flowers
About the path you tread

Sleep love, it is not yet the dawn
Angels guard thee, sweet love until morn

Beloved my heart is with you
As you stray wide-eyed among the angels
Dear Christ, keep my little maid from sorrow
And when she wakes
May Mother Mary watch beside her sleep

Sleep love, it is not yet the dawn
Angels guard thee, sweet love until morn

Sleep love, sleep love, angel
Sleep love, sleep love, angel
Sleep love, sleep love, until morn
