The Christians Good Night
Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest
Lay down thy head upon they Saviours breast
But thou shall wake no more to toil and weep
Thine is a perfect rest, secure and deep.
Only Good Night beloved, not Farewell
A little while and all His saints shall dwell
Until we know even as we are known
Good Night - Good Night - Good Night.
