79 - Softly Now the Light of Day
Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee.

2.

Thou, whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin.

3.

Soon for me the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee.

4.

Thou Who, sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity; Then, from Thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye.
