GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD MORNING
Why do make you this ado, and weep? The girl is not dead, but is
sleeping." Mark 5:39
Words: Lizzie DeArmond, circa 1922. These words grew out of the
author's grief upon losing her daughter:
Music: Homer Alvan Rodeheaver.
When comes to the weary a blessèd 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 night" here, but "good morning" up there.
Refrain
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 night" here but "good morning" up there.
When fadeth the day and dark shadows draw nigh,
With Christ close at hand, it is not death to die;
He'll wipe every tear, roll away every care;
We'll say "good night" here, but "good morning" up there.
Refrain
When home lights we see shining brightly above,
Where we shall be soon, through His wonderful love,
We'll praise Him Who called us His heaven to share,
We'll say "good night" here, but "good morning" up there.
Refrain
