What are the lyrics to taps on the trumpet?

Answer 1

Day is done,
gone the sun,
from the lakes
from the hills
from the sky,
all is well,
safely, rest,
God is near.

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 near.

* Note: At least some versions have "nigh" as the last word of the first and third stanzas; this means the same thing, but rhymes better with "sky."
