Day is done,
gone the sun,
From the hills,
from the lake,
From the skies.
All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.

Go to sleep,
peaceful sleep,
May the soldier
or sailor,
God keep.
On the land
or the deep,
Safe in sleep.

Love, good night,
Must thou go,
When the day,
And the night
Need thee so?
All is well.
Speedeth all
To their rest.

Fades the light;
And afar
Goeth day,
And the stars
Shineth bright,
Fare thee well;
Day has gone,
Night is on.

Thanks and praise,
For our days,
'Neath the sun,
Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go,
This we know,
God is nigh.

In Memory Of All Those

Who Words Can Not Denote

Nor Give Adequate Honor To -

'Never forget from whence we came
And guess [only] to where we may go'

HERE ARE NET VERSIONS OF THE TAPS TUNE AND THE WORDS MANY USE TO SING TO THE TUNE. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS NOT OFFICIAL WORDS BUT WHAT YOU SEE TO THE LEFT ARE WHAT I HAVE HEARD OVER THE YEARS.
