SCOUT VESPERS

(Tune)
Softly falls the light of day, 
As our campfire fades away. 
Silently each Scout should ask, 
"Have I done my daily task? 
Have I kept my honor bright? 
Can I guiltless sleep tonight? 
Have I done and have I dared, 
Everything to be Prepared?" 

Listen Lord, oh listen Lord, 
As I whisper soft and low. 
Bless my mom and bless my dad, 
These are things that they should know. 
I will keep my honor bright, 
The oath and law will be my guide. 
And mom and dad this you should know, 
Deep in my heart I love you so. 

This is a standard closing song for troop
meetings and campfires. Webelos dens 
may find it fits their programs especially den campouts.
