48 Softly Now the Light of Day

Softly now the light of day
Fades upon our sight away;
Free from care from labor free
Lord we would commune with Thee.

Thou whose all-pervading eye
Nought escapes without within
Pardon each infirmity
Open fault and secret sin.

Soon from us the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then from sin and sorrow free
Take us Lord to dwell with Thee.
