    a soul I have, and only one,
    If that be lost all hope is gone
    So waste not time, while time shall be
    And Heaven or Hell, your destiny.
    Good night, dear Jesus,
    Lord the day is over,
    Now I leave my labour light
    and before I seek my slumber
    Come to say a sweet good-night

    Would that I could tarry near Thee,
    Rest before Thy lowly shrine,
    Thou would'st whisper loving secrets
    And I would tell thee all of mine
    III
    But I can not linger any longer Jesus
