155c. Good Night

1 Before our kind and generous friends,
Our little part we 've played,
And now, to all our listeners here,
Our thanks must be conveyed.

Good-night, dear friends, good night, good-night,
Our entertainment o'er,
We needs must speak the words again,
So often heard before.

2 Our hearts are glad, our spirits high,
In all things we rejoice;
The words that sometimes bring a sigh,
We sing with cheerful voice.

Good-night, dear friends, good night, good-night,
Our entertainment o'er,
We needs must speak the words again,
So often heard before.

3 A brief good-by, to meet again,
Is all we say to-night;
God keep us all, and give us sleep,
Till breaks the morning light.

Good-night, dear friends, good-night, good-night,
Now let the curtain fall,
The closing moment comes at last,
And so, good-night to all.
