3. Until eternal 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!
4. 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!
5. 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!
