Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #132 (1888) Hymnal Title: The Gospel Awakening First Line: Softly now the light of day 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;
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. Tune Title: [Softly now the light of day]
