Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest
Won't you lay your head upon your savior's chest
I love you all, but Jesus loves you the best
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I would never ride, well, I would never ride goodnight, goodnight
But His rod and His staff, they comfort me goodnight, goodnight
Tell A for the ark, that wonderful boat goodnight, goodnight
Tell B for the beast at the ending of the wood goodnight, goodnight
You know it ate all the children when they wouldn't be good
Walking in Jerusalem just like John goodnight, goodnight
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
