All Through the Night

Here is one of my favorite lullabies. This will be perfect for some of the NICU folks in here. See the finger picking suggestions video at the bottom of this post:

This features music therapist Elisabeth Tinnes on vocals.

Here are the chords so you can play along or download for later. You could do a simple strumming or picking pattern, or try pulling out the melody which is kind of how I played it in the recording. Enjoy!

All Through the Night

D               G              Em       A
Sleep my child and peace attend thee
G   A                    D
All through the night
D               G          Em          A
Guardian angels God will send thee
G    A                  D         
All through the night

G
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Em                       A
Hill and vale in slumber steeping
D     G          Em             A
I my loving watch am keeping
G   A                   D
All through the night

D               G                Em          A
While the moon her watch is keeping
G   A                    D
All through the night
D               G         Em          A
While the weary world is sleeping
G   A                    D
All through the night

G
O’er thy spirit gently stealing
Em                 A
Visions of delight revealing
D                G              Em     A
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
G   A                    D
All through the night
