Stanza 1
Sleep on beloved 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!
Stanza 2
Calm is thy slumber as an infant’s sleep;
But thou shall wake no more to toil and weep
Thine is a perfect rest, secure and deep
Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!
Stanza 3
Until the shadow 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!
Stanza 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!
