Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 1
Softly now the light of day Fades upon our sight away; Free from care, from labor free, Lord we would commune with Thee!
Verse 2
Thou whose all pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each informity, Open fault and secret sin!
Verse 3
Soon for us the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then from sin and sorrow free, Take us, Lord to dwell with Thee!
