Good-night, dear friends, good night, good-night, Our entertainment o'er, We needs must speak the words again, So often heard before. 3 A brief good-by, to meet again, Is all we say to-night; God keep us all, and give us sleep, Till breaks the morning light. Good-night, dear friends, good-night, good-night, Now let the curtain fall, The closing moment comes at last, And so, good-night to all.

Our King

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: New Words to Old Tunes First Line: The busy, pleasant day Lyrics: 1 The busy, pleasant day Has softly passed away On sunset wing; And twilight shadows throng To hear our even-song, Its thankful strain prolong To Christ, our King. 2 Unlike the kings of earth, He was of lowly birth, And humble name. But all his life was spent On thoughts of love intent; Where'er his footsteps went, A blessing came. 3 The poor, the sick, and old, In hunger, want and cold, He loved them all. No words can e'er express His heavenly tenderness; He still can save and bless The souls that call. 4 And he is with us now; O let our spirits bow His love to meet. Our Brother and our Friend, Whose kingdom has no end, On whom our hearts depend In trust complete.

Of Such is the Kingdom

What I need, his love can give; He will show me how to live.
