I Bid You Goodnight
(Bahamian version of “Sleep On Beloved”)
Lay down my dear brother lay down and take your rest
Won't you lay your head down on your Saviour's breast
I love you oh but Jesus loves you best
And I bid you goodnight goodnight goodnight Lord
And I bid you goodnight goodnight goodnight
Lay down my dear brother lay down and take your rest
Won't you lay your head down on your Saviour's breast
I love you oh but Jesus loves you best
And I bid you goodnight goodnight goodnight Lord
And in the morning bright early and soon
goodnight goodnight
Lord I go walking in the valley of the shadow of Death
goodnight goodnight
His rod and staff shall comfort me
goodnight goodnight
Goodness and mercy shall follow me
goodnight goodnight
John the Wise said I saw the sign
goodnight goodnight
John said I saw the noble Lord's sign
goodnight goodnight
A for an Ark the wonderful boat
goodnight goodnight
She builded on the land getting water to float
goodnight goodnight
Now it's B for the Beast at ending of the world
goodnight goodnight
Eat all the children that would not be good
goodnight goodnight
Remember right well remember right well
goodnight goodnight
I want to walk in Jerusalem just like John
Lay down my dear brother lay down and take your rest
Won't you lay your head down on your Saviour's breast
I love you oh but Jesus loves you best
And I bid you goodnight goodnight goodnight Lord
And I bid you goodnight goodnight goodnight
