The 1799 publication of A-TY'D-Y-NOS runs as follows:
(From the Levy Sheet Music Collection)

Fain would some with vows persuade me
A-ty'd-y-nos
That my faithful Swain has fled me
A-ty'd-y-nos
But my beating heart will falter
Ere it thinks that his can alter,
Ere it thinks that his can alter,
A-ty'd-y-nos

He's so constant I believe him
A-ty'd-y-nos
He'd be true did I deceive him
A-ty'd-y-nos
And I would not give him credit
He were false altho he did it
A-ty'd-y-nos

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT

Deep the silence round us spreading,
All through the night.
Dark the path that we are treading,
All through the night.
Still the coming day discerning,
By the hope within us burning,
To the dawn our footsteps turning,
All through the night.

Star of Faith the dark adorning,
All through the night.
Leads us fearless t'wards the morning,
All through the night.
Though our hearts be wrapt in sorrow,
From the hope of dawn we borrow
Promise of a glad tomorrow,
All through the night.
