bradfordian A Last Song Circle for Katlaughing (103* d) RE: A Last Song Circle for Katlaughing 29 Jul 13


SLEEP ON BELOVED (Trad) Watersons

Not quite sure if it is good to offer this one now. I do sing it at times of loss. The melody is beautiful.


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,
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
        
Until our shadows from this earth are cast,
Until He gathers in His sheaves at last,
Until the twilight gloom is over past:
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
        
Until made beautiful by love divine
Thou in the likeness of thy Lord shalt shine,
And He will bring that golden crown of thine,
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

Until we meet again before the throne
Clothed in the spotless robes He gives His own,
Until we know as we have known:
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

goodnight Kat
