048 – Softly Now the Light of Day

1

Softly now the light of day

Fades upon out sight away:

Free from care, from labor free,

Lord, we would commune with Thee.

 

2

Thou, whose all-pervading eye

Nought escapes, without, within,

Pardon each infirmity,

Open fault, and secret sin.

 

3

Soon from us the light of day

Shall forever pass away;

Then, from sin and sorrow free,

Take us, Lord, to dwell with Thee.
