TAPS hym

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;

As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.

While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

Day is done, gone the sun From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky All is well, safely rest God is nigh. Thanks and praise for our days Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky As we go, this we know God is nigh. Then goodnight, peaceful night; Till the light of the dawn shineth bright. God is near, do not fear, Friend, goodnight.

Go to sleep,      Peaceful sleep,           May God keep                 The soldier                      Or sailor,                            On the land                                    Or the deep,                                           Safe in sleep. Thanks and praise         For our days,              Neath the sun,                   Neath the stars,                        Neath the sky,                              As we go,                                    This we know,                                          God is nigh. Love, good night,      Must thou go,           When the day,               And the night,                      Need thee so?                             All is well.                                    Speedeth all,                                          To their rest. Fading light        Dims the sight             And a star                 Gems the sky,                        Gleaning bright,                            Fare thee well,                                    Day has gone,                                           Night is on. Here we stand,       Hand in hand,             Wishing peace,                  Freedom, joy                       To each man.                            When there’s love                                  In our hearts,                                         God is nigh.

imagine that all is well, the sentries are posted and it's safe for me to go to sleep because God is here with me.
