Won't you lay down, my sister, come on and take your rest
Come and lay your head down on your savior's breast
And I love you, but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Oh, I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Oh, I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Won't you lay down, my brother, oh come on and take your rest
Come and lay your head down on your savior's breast
And I love you, but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Oh, I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Oh, I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Oh, I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Come and lay down, dear children, come on and take your rest
Come and lay your head down on your savior's breast
And I love you, but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Oh, I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
