Looking for the words - Sleep, sleep in peace and rest

I heard this many years ago as a child but only remember a portion of the verse and hope someone can help me with the rest. What I remember is:

Sleep, sleep in peace and rest
Don't be afraid of the darkness
All's well for over the land and the sea
God's keeping the nightwatch o'er you and o'er me

"THE NIGHT WATTCH"

INTRO softly) GOD'S KEEPING THE NIGHT WATCH FOR YOU AND FOR ME

BRIGHT STARS ARE WATCHING THE WORLD AS IT SLEEPS, SHEPHERDS WATCH OVER THE LITTLE WHITE SHEEP
THE LIGHTHOUSE IS SHINING FOR SHIPS OUT AT SEA
AS GOD KEEPS THE NIGHT WATCH FOR YOU AND FOR ME

CHORUS:

SO SLEEP, SLEEP, IN PEACE AND REST
DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARKNESS
ALL IS WELL FAR OVER THE LAND AND THE SEA, GOD'S KEEPING THE NIGHT WATCH FOR YOU AND FOR ME

(softly) THE LIGHTHOUSE IS SHINING FOR SHIPS OUT AT SEA
AS GOD KEEPS THE NIGHT WATCH FOR YOU AND FOR ME

REPEAT CHORUS:

HOPE THIS HELPS
