The popular song 'Danno Budunge Sri Dharmaskanda' is a Buddhism themed rendition drawn from the play 'Siri Sangabo' produced by the celebrated Sinhalese playwright John de Silva in 1903. He crafted the lyrics and the melody was composed by an Indian musician from Bombay named, Visvanath Laugee. Maestro W.D. Amaradeva has also reiterated it some time back in a radio panel discussion on "Parani Rasanga” or the popular songs of the past era. Musicians Victor Ratnayaka and Professor Sunil Ariyaratna have both said with vehemence that the original tune of the song was composed by Visvantha Laugee and the Christian hymn which has been extracted from the Danno Budunge tune was recorded by the Church some where in the 1950s. Professor Sunil Ariyaratne’s seminal research on the beginnings and development of Nadagam & Noorthi Gee in Sri Lanka has been published in a volume of several parts that deals with our old Sinhalese hit songs in 30s and 40s era, says critic Janaka Perera. Vishvanath Lauji, composed classic melodies for John de Silva's dramas namely Sirisangabo, Ramayana, Shakuntala, Sri Wikrama Rajasingha, and Ratnavali during the period between 1903 -1909. A considerable number of songs in his dramas are still popular among dramatists, musicians, and singers as well as the hoi polloi to-date, observes Janaka Perera.
Dear Lord we need your blessings to rebuild our beautiful country Sri Lanka with rule on your shoulders and wrong beneath your heels. We need to save our country from the class of the evil.

Here are the lyrics of the song I requested about. 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 sleeping I my loving vigil keeping All through the night Angels watching ever round thee All through the night In thy slumber they surround thee All through the night They should of all fear disarm thee No foreboding shall alarm they They will let no peril harm thee All through the night While the moon her watch is keeping All through the night While the weary world is sleeping All through the night O'er thy spirit gently stealing Visions of delight revealing Breathes a pure and holy feeling All through the night Love, to thee my thoughts are turning All through the night All for thee my heart is yearning All through the night Though sad fate our lives may sever Parting will not last forever There's a hope that leaves me never All through the night
This is a wonderful hymn composed by the late Rev. Senior, former Principal of Trinity College, Kandy He would not have thought for a moment that Sri Lanka would have become a nation torn by racial and religious strife and become a nation ruled by despots.
I love my motherland. I weep for her as how the different politicians have ruined it. Only God can solve her problems. Such a beautiful hymn for a beautiful country.

The song ' Danno Buddunge ' is sung in Sinhala traditionally as a song that praises the virtues of Buddhism and glorifies its citadel in Sri Lanka - Anuradhapura. The celebrated Playwright John de Silva is credited with composing the lyrics. It is a beautiful piece of music that acknowledges Sri Lanka's gratitude to Buddhism that led to the development of the unique Buddhist Civilization we find in Sri Lanka. Those who belong to other religions that arrived much later in time to this Buddhist Sinhala majority land must sincerely acknowledge the Buddhist foundations of Sri Lanka without trying to attribute the innate goodness of this country's civilization and culture to the work of their God and God men. Plagiarism and intellectual property theft are rooted in the cultural traditions of Western colonial countries. Even to this day the Museums of Euro - Christian countries are full of artifacts stolen from the natives of former European colonies, without shame and without remorse.
Hi! This song is the original song. Dunno buddunge by John De Silva came later. Most of our music came from abroad those days. Later translated in to Sinhala. This version is the Christian version to bless our land Sri Lanka. Dunno Buddunge is also like that the Buddhist version.
This is a beautiful Hymn...who in heavens name desicrated this hymn by adding the photo of Maithripala Sirisena to it Sileby side with former Bishop ??? Who ever made this clip.. has ruined the whole sanctity and glory of that hymn by adding graphics of one of the worst betrayers this country has had as a president - Maithripala Srisena- a man on whose hands lies the blood of 250 Easter worshipers a man who betrayed the nation talking of Yahapalana and deflecting to the band of thieves. Ofcpurse those who make these clips may not realise the gravity of their bad choices of pictures but the public realise..and will not accept. I stopped watching and deleted immediately.. there are other wonderful versions of this glorious hymn Hope someone rectifies this immediately
Beautiful hymn. But here it's spoiled some odd noices, that disturb the Spirit of this hymn. When we sang this it gave us a sense of awe. But people scrambling to score in social Media have corrupted the most treasured hymns.
Sounds like what the Islamist's want for Sri Lanka, a country that is Islamist. Just replace, HIM/HIS with ALLAH TO HIM OUR LAND WILL KNEEL All rule be on HIS shoulder, ALL WRONG BENEATH HIS HEEL O consummation glorious Which now by faith we sing; Come, cast we up the highway That brings us back our King!
This is such a beautiful and peaceful hymn and melody. Whenever I hear this melody, I imagine myself sitting in an island setting. 🏝
May our Lord guard our beautiful motherland and Bless its people ❤

Please make some videos of the song "All Through The Night", one in Tamil and one in Sinhala. Thank you!
Here are the lyrics of the song I requested about.
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 sleeping
I my loving vigil keeping
All through the night
Angels watching ever round thee
All through the night
In thy slumber they surround thee
All through the night
They should of all fear disarm thee
No foreboding shall alarm they
They will let no peril harm thee
All through the night
While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night
While the weary world is sleeping
All through the night
O'er thy spirit gently stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night
Love, to thee my thoughts are turning
All through the night
All for thee my heart is yearning
All through the night
Though sad fate our lives may sever
Parting will not last forever
There's a hope that leaves me never
All through the night
