Taps Song

This Song is meant for Cub Scouts.
Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.

The Tune:

Day is done, Gone the sun,
From the lake, From the hills,
From the sky;
All is well, Safely rest,
God is nigh.

Fading light, Dims the sight;
And a star, Gems the sky,
Gleaming bright;
From afar, Drawing nigh,
Falls the night.

Fades the light, Falls the night,
O'er the vale, O'er the hill,
O'er the sky;
From afar, Shines a star;
Falls the night.

Dear one, rest! In the West,
Sable night, Lulls the day;
On her breats.
Sweet, goodnight! Ah, so soon!
Peaceful dreams.

Soldier rest, Gently pressed,
To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.

Thanks and praise, for our day,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars,
'Neath the sky.
As we go, this we know,
God is nigh.

Starry bright, Be you flight,
To the goal, Of the soul,
Shining white;
God is near, Have no fear,
In His light.

Sleep and dream, Every beam,
God keep watch o'er all
Thru the night
We shall meet with the morn',
So good night.
