Song Lyrics
Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away
Free from care, from labor free
Lord, I would commune with Thee
Thou, Whose all pervading eye
Naught escapes, without, within
Pardon each infirmity
Open fault, and secret sin
Soon for me the light of day
Shall forever pass away
Then, from sin and sorrow free
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee
Alternate verse:
Thou Who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man’s infirmity
Then, from Thine eternal throne
Jesus, look with pitying eye
Words public domain
