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