ENGLISH LYRICS: Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest
Any many of the that sleep in the dust of the earth awake. Some to.. Dan.12:21. 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! 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
Good-night! Good-night! Good-night
3. Until the shadows 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!
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!
5. Until made beautiful by Love Divine,
Thou in the likeness of thy Lord shalt shine,
And He shall bring that golden crown of thine.
Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!
6. Only "good-night," beloved-not "farewell!"
A little while, and all His saints shall dwell
In hallowed union, indivisible.
Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!
7. 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! Good-night!
Amen.
