ALL THRU THE NIGHT -Traditional

While the Moon her watch is keeping all thru the night

While the weary world is sleeping all thru the night

O'er thy spirit gently stealing,

Visions of delight revealing

Breathes a pure and holy feeling all thru the night

Though this Bard must roam full lonely

My true harp shall sing praise only

Love's soft dream, alas, is over

Yet my strains of love shall hover

Near the Presence of my Lover

Hark! A solemn bell is ringing

Thou, my King are heavenward winging

Earthly dust from off Thee shaken

Soul immortal shalt thou waken

With thy last, dim journey taken

Neath this Stone my King is sleeping

Stars around Him softly sweeping

Once and Future King preserving

Britain's Saviour there reserving

All around him Stars observing all thru the night

Holl am ran-tire sehr thuh wed-ont ahr heed ah nos

Dum-ar forth ee vro go-gawn-yont ahr heed ah nos

Gol-i ar-all you tuh wull ooch ee are thang os gweer bred vairtch-ooch tie-leer nave oith m'yoon thu-wail-ooch ahr heed ah nos note: The last verse is phonetic Welsh.

"ll" is pronounced by putting the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth, and saying "h" and "l" at the same time...sort of.

"ch" is pronounced as German. *
