Words and Music by Fr. James B. Curry

Good-night, sweet Jesus, guard us in our sleep.
Our souls and bodies in Thy love keep.
Waking or sleeping, be Thou our morning light.
Dear gentle Saviour, good-night, good-night.

Good-night, sweet Jesus, guard us in our sleep.
You are our shepherd, Lord; we are your sheep.
When we awaken, be Thou our morning light.
Dear gentle Saviour, good-night, good-night.

Good-night, dear Jesus. Good-night. Good-night.

Here is another version of the score that I made:
