All through the night.

In thy slumbers close surround thee,

Deep the silence round us spreading,
All through the night.
Dark the path that we are treading,
All through the night.
Still the coming day discerning,
By the hope within us burning,
To the dawn our footsteps turning,
All through the night.
Star of Faith the dark adorning
All through the night;
Leads us fearless t'wards (towards) the morning,
All through the night.
Though our hearts be wrapt in sorrow,
From the hope of dawn we borrow
Promise of a glad tomorrow,
All through the night.
