Choral All Through the Night, The Lord’s My Shepherd Mass treble choir, two choirs, with piano | 3 min | Listen Commissioned by Seattle Children’s Chorus for their 20th Anniversary Concert in Seattle’s Benaroya Hall, this tender, reassuring medley of All through the Night and The Lord’s My Shepherd (Crimond) is arranged for unison and SA choirs. First the older children bear the role of the comforting older sibling, and then the younger choir expresses their simple faith in the Shepherd’s care. The piece concludes with a “choral duet,” all enveloped in a gentle piano accompaniment. Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee all through the night. Guardian angels God will send thee all through the night. Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, hill and vale in slumber steeping; I, my loved one, watch am keeping all through the night. The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want. He makes me down to lie in pastures green, he leadeth me the quiet waters by. Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me, and in God’s house forevermore my dwelling place shall be. God is here, I’ll not be lonely all through the night. Guarding, guiding, loving only, all through the night. Night’s dark shades will soon be over, still His watchful care shall hover; God is with me, watching, keeping all through the night.
