Day is Done, Gone the Sun, also known as Taps, is a well loved, simple song that is often used at the end of the day for summer camps such as Girl Guides or Cubs, and also for funerals and military memorial services, often played on a bugle. The simple melody allows time to meditate on the words - God is nigh!

Day is Done, Gone the Sun (Taps)
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
