Hymn for Interment
Sleep On, Beloved
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 be 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!
