159. Friends, Good-night!

1 Friends, good-night! friends, good-night!
Swiftly these hours of reunion fly;
Friends, good-night! friends, good-night!
Lift we our pray'r on high.
May our Father bless you,
Mercy and peace
Richly increase,
God our Father bless you,
Bless you evermore.

Chorus:
Friends, good-night! friends, good-night!
Blessed reunions, too soon they fly.
Friends, good-night! friends, good-night!
Jesus is ever nigh.

2 Precious hours, precious hours,
Flinging their light o'er our passing days;
Precious hours, precious hours,
Close them with pray'r and praise.
May our Father bless you,
Jesus has bought
Treasures unthought,
God our Father bless you,
Bless you evermore. [Chorus]

3 Friends, good-night! friends, good-night!
When shadows darken we'll look above;
Friends, good-night! Friends, good-night!
Safe in his arms of love.
May our Father bless you,
Happy farewell,
Happy farewell,
God our Father bless you,
Bless you evermore. [Chorus]
