HYMN 760

10S6 (FE 794)
“Yea saith the Spirit that they may rest
from their labours" - Rev. 14:13



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; 

     Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!.


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 

     Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!.


3.  Until the shadows from this earth are cast; 

     Until He gathers in His sheaves at last; 

     Until the twilight gloom is Overpast 

     Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!.


4.  Until the Easter glory light the skies;

     Until the dead in Jesus shall arise,

     And He shall come, but not in lowly guise 

     Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!.


5.  Until made beautiful by love Divine,

     Thou in the likeness of thy Lord shall shine, 

     And He shall bring that golden crown of shine, 

     Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!.


6.  Only ‘good-night' beloved-not ‘farewell! 

     A little while, and all His saints shall dwell 

     In hallowed, union indivisible

     Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!.


7.  Until we meet again before His throne, 

     Clothed in spotless robe He gives His own 

     Until we know even as we have known 

     Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!.  Amen
