All Night, All Day

Chorus:
All night, all day, angels watching over me, My Lord.
All night, all day, angels watching over me.

Now I lay me down to sleep, Oh, Lordy,
Angels watching over me, My Lord,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
Angels watching over me.

Chorus

If I should die before I wake, Oh, Lordy,
Angels watching over me, My Lord.
I pray the Lord my soul to take,
Angels watching over me.

Chorus

Matthew, Mark, and Luke and John, Oh, Lordy,
Angels watching over me, My Lord.
Bless this bed that I lay on,
Angels watching over me.

Chorus
