ME

[Michael121]

To all who have sacrificed they shall not be forgotten.

There are also words to the Bugle:

Taps

Day is done, gone the sun,

From the hills, from the lake,

From the sky.

All is well, safely rest,

God is nigh.

Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,

May the soldier or sailor,

God keep.

On the land or the deep,

Safe in sleep.

Love, good night, Must thou go,

When the day, And the night

Need thee so?

All is well. Speedeth all

To their rest.

Fades the light; And afar

Goeth day, And the stars

Shineth bright,

Fare thee well; Day has gone,

Night is on.

Thanks and praise, For our days,

'Neath the sun, Neath the stars,

'Neath the sky,

As we go, This we know,

God is nigh.

We always used to sing this at Girl Scout Camp..only the first verse; I think you have two lines reversed:
"From the Lake, from the hill, from the sky..." it flows better!!

Thanks and praise, For our days,

'Neath the sun, Neath the stars,

'Neath the sky,

As we go, This we know,

God is nigh.

And occassionally, like in a "Scout's Own**," we'd sing this last verse, too!! Even then, it would choke me up.

**former GS out there--should know what that is.

Lord, I pray for the repose of the souls of all those who gave their lives for this country.  May we never forget the ultimate sacrifice for which they made, or take for granted the liberty which they brought us.

Tears so early in the morning. Not fair! So beautiful and sad.
