Taps
- 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.
