Fading light dims the sight, 
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright. 
From afar drawing night 
Falls the night. 

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

Then good night, peaceful night, 
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright; 
God is near, do not fear 
Friend, good night.
