SDA Hymnal #48
Softly Now the Light of Day
Topic: Evening Worship
Lyrics
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 Nought escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin.
Verse 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.
