C                          
Day is done, gone the sun  
C                                             
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;  
C                   G            C      
All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh.  
   
C                             
Fading light dims the sight,  
C                                          
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.  
C                  G               C       
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.  
   
C                                
Thanks and praise, for our days  
C                                                  
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the sky;  
C                 G            C      
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.  
   
C                          
Sun has set, shadows come  
C                                            
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds  
C                  G                 C      
Always true to the promise that they made.  
   
C                                  
While the light fades from sight,  
C                                         
And the stars gleaming rays softly sent,  
C                   G                      
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.
