Sleep on, belovèd, 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!
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 be 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 shalt 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 unison 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!
