Reformed Press Hymnal ‎#211

211. Good Night and Good Morning

1 When comes to the weary a blessrd release,
When upward we pass to His kingdom of peace,
When free from the woes that on earth we must bear,
We’ll say "good-nigh"t here, but "good-morning" up there.

Chorus:
Good morning up there where Christ is the Light,
Good morning up there where cometh no night;
When we step from this earth to God’s heaven so fair,
We’ll say "good-nigh"t here, but "good-morning" up there.

2 When fadeth the day and dark shadows draw nigh,
With Christ close at hand, it is not death to die;
He’ll wipe ev'ry tear, roll away ev'ry care;
We’ll say "good-nigh"t here, but "good-morning" up there. [Chorus]

3 When homelights we see shining brightly above,
Where we shall be soon, thro' His wonderful love,
We’ll praise Him who called us His heaven to share,
We’ll say "good-nigh"t here, but "good-morning" up there. [Chorus]
