Lay down my dear sister Won't you lay and take your rest Won't you lay you head Upon your savior's breast.

'Cause I love you But Jesus loves you the best And I wish you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

One of these mornings bright and early and fine Goodnight, Goodnight Not a cricket nor a spirit gonna shout me down Goodnight, Goodnight

And I'll go walking thru the shadow of the valley of death Goodnight, Goodnight And I'll go walking thru Jerusalem just like John Goodnight, Goodnight

My rod and my staff shall comfort me Goodnight, Goodnight John the wise, he's so divine

et cetra

A PERSONAL FAVORITE, FOR MANY YEARS SUNG AS A LULLABY TO MY KIDS IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER THE SEQUENCE OF LYRICS (sigh!)
