Only "Good-night" beloved not "farewell" A little while, and all His saints shall dwell, In hallowed union, indivisible Good-night! Good-night! Goodnight!

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!
