GOOD NIGHT by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: GOOD NIGHT, DEAR LORD! AND NOW
Last Line: HAVE GREATER NEED THAN THOU.

Good night, dear Lord! and now
Let them that loved to keep
Thy little bed in Bethlehem,
Be near me while I sleep;
For I -- more helpless, Lord -- of them
Have greater need than Thou.
