The Christian’s “Good Night”

Luke.8.52

1

Sleep on, beloved, sleep, and take thy rest;

Lay down thy head upon the Savior’s breast;

We love thee well, but Jesus loves thee best—

Good night! Good night! Good night!

2

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!

3

Until the shadows from this earth are cast,

Until He gathers in His sheaves at last;

Until the twilight gloom be over past—

Good night! Good night! Good night!

4

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!

5

Until, made beautiful by love divine,

Thou, in the likeness of thy Lord shalt shine,

And He shall bring that golden crown of thine—

Good night! Good night! Good night!

6

Only “Good night,” beloved—not “farewell!”

A little while, and all His saints shall dwell

In hallowed unison indivisible—

Good night! Good night! Good night!

7

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!
