Good-night, love; good-night, love;
May heaven's brightest stars watch over thee,
Good angels spread their wings and cover thee;
And thro' the night, so dark and still,
Spirits of light, charm thee from ill!
My heart is hov'ring 'round thy dwelling place,
My heart is hov'ring 'round thy dwelling place;
Good-night, dear love, good-night, dear love;
God bless thee with his grace.
Good-night, dear love; good-night, dear love;
Sweet love, goodnight! God bless thee with his grace.
Good-night, dear love, good-night, good-night.

Good-night, love; good-night, love:
Soft lullabies the night-wind sing to thee,
And on his wings, sweet odors bring to thee;
And in thy dreaming, may all things dear,
With gentle seeming, comes smiling near;
My knees are bowed, my hands are clasped in prayer,
My knees are bowed, my hands are clasped in prayer;
Good-night, dear love; good-night, dear love;
God keep thee in his care.
Good-night, dear love, good-night, dear love;
Sweet love, good-night! God bless thee with his grace;
Good-night, dear love, good-night, good-night.
