Lyrics
Rest now young soldier - The fight is done
The battle's over - The race is run
Now the time has come, my faithful son
Go gently through the night
Rest now young soldier - Say goodnight
Rest now young soldier - Lay down your head
The story's ended - It's all been said
Now the setting sun is almost done
No story left to tell
Rest now young soldier - Say farewell
Rest now young soldier - You've done your best
Your journey's ended - It's time to rest
I will see you then, when we meet again
Upon that distant shore
Rest now young soldier - Say no more
