To what song is this the lyrics?

[underpants]

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.

3. Yes. I had no idea it had lyrics

[Walleye]

4. I don't think I ever heard the whole thing I knew the first verse or so

Maybe we sang it in Girl Scouts?

[Nittersing]

6. We sang the first verse as an echo song at Girl Scout camp

One group would canoe across the lake and start it from there. Only knew the first verse though.

We also had a couple of counselors who played trumpet... lovely echo across the lake

5. I immediately recognized this as "Taps"

but have no idea when or where I would have learned it.

Who sings that? In schools? Scouts?

See posts above. A coworker told me they used to sing it in Girl Scouts.
