Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: Gospel Melodies and Evangelistic Hymns #238 (1944) First Line: When softly fades the dying day Refrain First Line: Good night, good night, May angels bright Lyrics: 1 When softly fades the dying day,
And mortal cares we fold away,
Then with the last faint ray of light,
All nature seems to say Good night.
Refrain:
Good night, good night,
May angels bright,
Their vigils keep till morning light,
Good night, good night,
Good night, good night.
2 And when the deeper shadows fall,
And nature veils as with a pall,
Then pray’rs of evening take their flight
From lips that softly say Good night. [Refrain]
3 O Father, give us sweet repose
From all our earthly cares and woes,
And grant that heav’n may greet our sight
When we have said our last Good night. [Refrain] Topics: Closing Song Languages: English Tune Title: [When softly fades the dying day]
