All Through the Night is a Welsh folksong. The Welsh title is Ar Hyd y Nos. The song is highly popular with traditional Welsh male voice choirs, and is sung by them at festivals in Wales and around the world.

The song is also sometimes considered a Christmas carol, and as such has been performed by many artists on Christmas albums, including Olivia Newton-John and Michael McDonald, who sang it as a duet on Newton-John's 2007 album Christmas Wish. Cerys Matthews sang it solo on her 2010 album Tir. American spiritual singer Anthony Brown recorded the English version by Sir Harold Boulton on his 2006 album Each Other's Light, Songs Of Peace, Hope And Justice.

The first written record of the mleody is in Musical and Poetical Relics of the Welsh Bards (1784). One of the earliest English translations of the Welsh lyrics was by Thomas Oliphant in 1862.

The melody was used by John Gay in The Beggar's Opera. It is also used in the hymn "Go My Children With My Blessing.” 
The doo-wop group The Mystics, in the line-up that included Paul Simon, had a hit with a sped-up version.
Peter, Paul and Mary sing a version on their lullaby album "Peter, Paul and Mommy"The TV movie A Child's Christmas in Wales features the family singing the song towards the end of the film, but in English.
In season 3 of the series Angel, the character Daniel Holtz is frequently heard singing the English version of this song
In the episode "Denial, Anger, Acceptance" of HBO's popular television show The Sopranos, Meadow Soprano and her choir sing the English version of the song, intercut with the mock execution of Christopher Moltisanti, and the real execution of Brendan Filone.
