Lay down my dear Brother, lay down and take your rest 
I want to lay your head upon your Savior's breast 
I love you, but Jesus loves you best 
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight 
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight 

Lay down my dear Brother, lay down and take your rest 
I want to lay your head upon your Savior's breast 
I love you, but Jesus loves you best 
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight 
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight 

One of these mornings bright and early and soon, goodnight 
Now they're pickin' up the spirit to the shore beyond, goodnight 
Go walking in the valley of the shadow of death, goodnight 
His rod and his staff, gonna comfort me, goodnight 
Join the wise, there's a soul to find, goodnight 
Lord send a fire, not a flood next time, goodnight 
To leave for the ark, that wonderful boat, goodnight 
She really loaded down, getting water to float, goodnight 
Now pray for the beast at the ending of the world, goodnight 
He'll eat all the children that would not be good, goodnight 
I remember right well, I remember right well, goodnight 
I went walking to Jerusalem just like John 
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight 
Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest 
I want to lay your head upon your Saviors breast 
I love you, but Jesus loves you best 
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight 
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
