Author: George W. Doane Hymnal: Great Songs of the Church (Revised) #35 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day
Fades upon our sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, we would commune with Thee.
2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye
Naught escapes without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon for us the light of day
May forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take us, Lord, to dwell with Thee.
Amen. Topics: Children's Hymns; Evening hymns; Lord's Day Scripture: Psalm 141:2 Languages: English Tune Title: SEYMOUR
Softly Now the Light of Day
