Good Night

I jour­ney forth re­joic­ing

From this dark vale of tears

To heav’n­ly joy and free­dom

From earth­ly bonds and fears:

Where Christ our Lord shall ga­ther

All His re­deemed again

His king­dom to in­her­it—

Good night

till then!

Good night

good night

Good night

till then!

Go to thy quiet rest­ing

Poor te­ne­ment of clay!

From all thy pain and weak­ness

I glad­ly haste away;

But still in faith con­fid­ing

To find thee yet again

All glo­ri­ous and im­mor­tal—

Good night

till then!

Why thus so sad­ly weep­ing

Beloved ones of my heart?

The Lord is good and gra­cious

Though now He bids us part.

Oft have we met in glad­ness

And we shall meet again

All sor­row left be­hind us—

Good night

till then!

I go to see His glo­ry

Whom we have loved be­low;

I go

the bless­èd an­gels

The ho­ly saints to know.

Our love­ly ones de­part­ed

I go to find again

And wait for you to join us;

Good night

till then.

I hear the Sav­ior call­ing

The joy­ful hour has come;

The an­gel guards are rea­dy

To guide me to our home;

Where Christ our Lord shall ga­ther

All His re­deemed again

His king­dom to in­her­it—

Good night

till then!
