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]

Lizzie De Armond was a prolific writer of children's hymns, recitations and exercises. When she was twelve years old her first poem was published in the Germantown, Pa. Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
