Sleep on, belovèd,
sleep, and take thy rest;
Lay down thy head upon
thy Saviour’s breast:
We love thee well;
but Jesus loves thee best—
Good-night!
Good-night!
Good-night!
Calm is thy slumber
as an infant’s sleep;
But thou shalt wake no more
to toil and weep:
Thine is a perfect rest,
secure, and deep—
Good-night!
Good-night!
Good-night!
Until the shadows
from this earth are cast;
Until He gathers
in His sheaves at last;
Until the twilight gloom
is over-past—
Good-night!
Good-night!
Good-night!
Until the Easter glory lights the skies;
Until the dead in Jesus shall arise,
And He shall come;
but not in lowly guise—
Good-night!
Good-night!
Good-night!
Until made beautiful by Love Divine,
Thou, in the likeness
of thy Lord shall shine,
And He shall bring
that golden crown of thine—
Good-night!
Good-night!
Good-night!
Only “Good-night,” belovèd—
not “farewell!”
A little while, and all
His saints shall dwell
In hallowed union, indivisible—
Good-night!
Good-night!
Good-night!
Until we meet again
before His throne,
Clothed in the spotless robe
He gives His own,
Until we know
even as we are known—
Good-night!
Good-night!
Good-night!
