Softly Now the Light of Day

Author: George Washington Doane Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #539 (1937) Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee. 2 Thou whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. 3 When for me the light of day Shall for ever pass away, Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee. Amen.
