Taps
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.Thanks and praise, for our days,
‘Neath the sun, ‘neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

Thank you, Hilary!
That is really beautiful!
Beautiful sunset! We used to only sing the first verse in Girl Guides.
Reb, I didn’t know the other verses existed. I was surprised to find them when I looked up the lyrics. I especially like that 3rd verse.
This is so beautiful, Karen.
isn’t it amazing how nature creates such beauty

Beautiful…love the red-fringed clouds. I was going to mention the same thing Reb did–this was how we ended our Girl Scouts meetings.
Fabulous sunset shot! Congrats on your POTW. And so nice to catch up with you again!
I echo TexWisGirl – perfect title. And thank you for the lyrics – I never even knew Taps had words!
