Day is done
Gone the sun
From the hills
From the lake
From the skies
All is well
Safely rest
God is nigh

Go to sleep
Peaceful sleep
May the soldier
Or sailor
God keep
On the land
Or in deep
Safe in sleep

Love, good night
Must thou go
When the day
And the night
Need thee so?
All is well
Speedeth all
To their rest

Fades the light
And afar
Goeth day
And the stars
And the stars
Shineth bright
Fare thee well
Day has gone
Night is on

Thanks and praise
For our days
'Neath the sun
'Neath the stars
'Neath the sky
As we go
This we know
God is nigh
