Softly now the light of day
fades upon my sight away
Free from care,
from labor free
Lord I would
commune with Thee

Soon for me
the light of day
shall forever pass away
Then from sin and sorrow free
Take me Lord
to dwell with Thee

Thou who’s sinless,
yet as snow
all of man’s infirmity
Then from Thine eternal throne
Jesus look with pitying eye

Amen
