Go to Thy Rest, Fair Child
Author: Lydia H. Sigourney, 1791-1865 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #624 (1972) First Line: Go to thy rest, fair child! Lyrics: 1 Go to thy rest, fair child!
Go to thy dreamless bed,
While yet so gentle, undefiled,
With blessings on thy head.
2 Before thy heart had learned
In waywardness to stray;
Before thy feet had ever turned
The dark and downward way;
3 Ere sin has seared the breast,
Or sorrow woke the tear;
Rise to thy throne of changeless rest,
In yon celestial sphere!
4 Because thy smile was fair,
Thy lip and eye so bright,
Because thy loving cradle-care
Was such a dear delight;
5 Shall love, with weak embrace,
Thy upward wing detain?
No! gentle spirit, seek thy place
Amid the cherub train. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Seasons, Days, Services Funeral Services Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:23 Languages: English Tune Title: BURBER

Go to thy rest
Hymnal: The Morning Star #103 (1877) First Line: Go to thy rest, sweet child! Lyrics: 1 Go to thy rest, fair child!
Go to thy dreamless bed;
Sinless and undefiled,
With blessings on thy head.
Chorus:
Go to thy rest,
And sweet be thy repose;
Safe on thy Savior's breast,
Free from all earthly woes,
Go to thy rest.
2 Fresh roses in thy hand,
Buds on thy pillow laid;
Fly from this dreary land,
Where flow'rs but bloom to fade.
Chorus:
Go to thy rest,
And sweet be thy repose;
Safe on thy Savior's breast,
Free from all earthly woes,
Go to thy rest.
3 Ere thy young heart could learn,
In wayward paths to stray;
Ere thy young feet could turn
Down life's delusive way.
Chorus:
Go to thy rest,
And sweet be thy repose;
Safe on thy Savior's breast,
Free from all earthly woes,
Go to thy rest.
4 Though thy young cheek was fair,
Thy lips and eyes were bright;
Though thy sweet tender care
Was one prolonged delight.
Chorus:
Go to thy rest,
And sweet be thy repose;
Safe on thy Savior's breast,
Free from all earthly woes,
Go to thy rest.
5 Shall, therefore, love's embrace,
Thy homeward flight detain?
No, loved one, take thy place
'Mid yonder angel train.
Chorus:
We'll meet again,
On Canaan's happy shore;
With Christ forever reign,
We'll meet to part no more,
We'll part no more.

Knowles Shaw
1834 - 1878 Composer of "[Go to thy rest, sweet child!]" in The Morning Star Knowles Shaw (1834-1878), a name familiar in many western households--was born near New London, in Morgan Township, Ohio, on the 13th of October, 1834. His mother's maiden name was Huldah Griffin, and by both of his parents he was of Scottish extraction. His early life was spent in Rush County, Indiana, where he first began to play the violin, furnishing the music for many a dance. While the ball was going on he was converted, ceasing to play in the middle of the piece he was performing. Very soon thereafter he entered the ministry of the Christian Church. On the 11th of January, 1855, he married Miss Martha Finley. Most of his time after entering the ministry was spent in the West and South, and on account of his wonderful vocal powers he was called the "singing evangelist."
As a singer he was considered, in some respects, equal to Sankey and Bliss. reporters of the press al spoke of his singing as something wonderful. Soon after beginning to preach, he began to compose and to write music. His first song was "The Shining Ones," still popular. He published at different times five singing-books: "Shining Pearls," "Golden Gate," "Sparkling Jewels," "The Gospel Trumpet," and the "Morning Star." "Bringing in the Sheaves" was one of the last songs from his hand.
His last meeting was held in Dallas, Texas, in May 1878. He was killed by a railroad accident, going from Dallas to McKinney, on the 7th of June, 1878. During his ministry he baptized over eleven thousand persons.
