Best Answer

Many military funerals utilise music as part of the service tribute. Or it can be used during a flag ceremony. The tune 'Butterfield's Lullaby,' sometimes known by the first line of the lyrics 'Day is Done,' is generally played on a Trumpet or bugle. The same tune, also known as 'Taps' is sounded by a bugler at dusk.

The lyrics, written by Horace Lorenzo Trim, are as follows

Day is done, gone the sun

From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky

All is well, safely rest

God is nigh.

Fading light dims the sight

And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright

From afar, drawing near

Falls the night.

Thanks and praise for our days

Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky

As we go, this we know

God is nigh.
