RCCG Hymn 765
Sleep on, Beloved, Sleep and Take Thy Rest
"And many of he that sleep in the dust of the earth awake. Some to everlasting life." - Dan 12:2
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! Good-night!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
