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
Until the shadows from the earth are cast,
Until he gathers in His sheaves at last.
Until the twilight gloom be over past
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, Goodnight
