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