* SAILORS REST YOUR OARS, YOUR WATCH HAS ENDED *

* Your Brothers Have Assumed The Watch *

The words to the haunting melody, we now know as "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 nigh, 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.
