71. Day is Gone

1 Day is gone: gone the sun—
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.

2 Fading light dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright:
From afar drawing night
Falls the night.

3 Then good-night, peaceful night,
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright:
God is near, do not fear:
Then good-night.
