The Gospel Awakening ‎#132

132. Frederick

1. Softly now the light of day
Fades upon our sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, we would commune with Thee;
Free from care, from labor free,
We would commune with Thee.

2. Soon for us the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take us, Lord, to dwell with Thee;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take us to dwell with Thee.
