When At Night I Go To Sleep
((German Version: Abendsegen (by Kathleen Battle))
Composer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
Performer(s): Charlotte Church



When at night I go to sleep
Fourteen angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding
Two my feet are guiding
Two are on my right hand
Two are on my left hand
Two who warmly cover
Two who o’er me hover
Two to whom ’tis given
To guide my steps to heaven

Sleeping sofly, then it seems
Heaven enters in my dreams
Angels hover round me
Whisp'ring they have found me
Two are sweetly singing
Two are garlands bringing
Strewing me with roses
As my soul reposes
God will not forsake me
When dawn at last will wake me
