Last night I lay me down to sleep, When all my prayers were said, My guardian Angel round did keep His watch about my head. I heard his sweet voice caroling, Full softly on my ear, A song for Christian boys to sing, For Christian men to hear, 2. "Thy body rests in slumber, child, Thy soul be free from sin! Thy Angel near and undefiled, Breathes all pure thoughts within. The holy Christmas Tide is nigh, The Season of Christ's Birth; All Glory be to God on High, And Peace to men on earth! 3. "For I and all the Heavenly Host Were keeping watch of old, And saw the Shepherds at their post, And all the sheep in fold. Then told we with a joyful cry, The Tidings of Christ's Birth; All Glory be to God on High, And Peace to men on earth! 4. "He bowed to all His Father's Will, The Lowly and the Meek; And year by year His Thoughts were still, Lost sinners for to seek. He did not come to strive nor cry, But ever from His Birth Gave Glory unto God on High, And Peace to men on earth. 5. "Like Him be true, like Him be pure, Like Him be full of love; Seek not thine own, and so secure Thine own that is above, And still when Christmas Tide draws nigh, Sing thou of Jesus' Birth; All Glory be to God on High, And Peace to men on earth!"
