Hymn 765
Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest
- mf 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
p Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!
- mf 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
p Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!
- f Until the shadows from this earth are cast;
Until He gathers in His sheaves at last;
Until the twilight gloom is over past
p Good - night! Good - night! Good-night!
- Until the Easter glory lights the skies:
Unfil the dead in Jesus shall arise.
And He shall come, but not in lowly guise.
Good - night! Good - night! Goodnight!
- mf Until made beautiful by Love Divine,
cr Thou in the likeness of thy Lord shalt shine.
f And He shall bring that golden crown of thine
p Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!
- mf Only "Good-night" beloved not "farewell"
A little while, and all His saints shall dwell,
di In hallowed union, indivisible
p Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!
- mf Until we meet again before His throne,
Clothed in the spotless robe He gives His own.
Until we know even as we are known
p Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!
Christly Living
