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.
