GOOD NIGHT! / BE THY CARES FORGOTTEN QUITE by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: OUR FATHER WAKES! GOOD-NIGHT! GOOD-NIGHT!

Good-night!
Be thy cares forgotten quite!
Day approaches to its close;
Weary nature seeks repose.
Till the morning dawns in light,
Good-night!

Go to rest!
Close thine eyes in slumber blest!
Now 'tis still and quiet all;
Hear we but the watchman's call,
And the night is still and blest.
Go to rest!

Good-night!
Slumber till the morning light!
Slumber till the dawn of day
Brings its sorrow with its ray.
Sleep without or fear or fright!
Our Father wakes! good-night! good-night!
