1)
Softly falls the light of day,
3)
Quietly we join as one,
While our campfire fades away.
Thanking God for Scouting fun,
Silently each Scout should ask
May we now go on our way.
Have I done my daily task?
Thankful for another day.
Have I kept my honor bright?
May we always love and share,
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Living in peace beyond compare,
Have I done and have I dared
As Scouts may we find,
Everything to be prepared?
Friendships true with all mankind.
2)
Listen Lord, oh listen Lord,
4)
Quietly we now will part,
As I whisper soft and low.
Pledging ever in our heart,
Bless my mom and Bless my dad,
To strive to do our best each day,
These are things that they should know.
As we travel down life's way.
I will keep my honor Bright,
Happiness we'll try to give,
The oath and law will be my guide.
Trying a better life to live,
And mom and dad this you should know,
Till all the world
Deep in my heart I love you so.
Be joined in love,
Living in peace under skies above.
Note:
The Boy Scout Vespers is a traditional song of the Boy Scouts of America.
Vespers are typically sung at the conclusion of the day or service,
such as at the end of a campfire service.
Living in peace under skies above.
