Author: Bp. G. W.. Doane Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #13b (1894) Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away;
Free from care, from labor fee,
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 Soon, for me, the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee.
4 Thou Who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then, from Thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye.
Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening Languages: English Tune Title: [Softly now the light of day]
