Sleep Well, Thou Sweet Angel - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Sleep Well, Thou Sweet Angel. 
The bells are hushed, the world is still, The sounds of toil are heard no more; The bird has ceased his tuneful song, And heaven with stars is spangled o'er. 
Chorus. Sleep well, sleep well, And let thy lovely eye lids close; Sleep well, sleep well," Dear angel, sweet be thy repose. 
Oh, didst thou think of me to-day? The thought of thee ray heart could fill; And now, to breathe a fond good-night, Beside thy door I linger still.-Chorus. 
There comes to thee from heavenly realms A holy messenger to-night; He brings you bright and peaceful dreams 'Till you awake in morning's light.-Chorus.
