Softly now the light of day

by George W. Dnane (1799–1859)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 48.

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 allpervading 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.
