Scout Vespers (sung to the tune of “Oh Christm= as Tree”)

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?”
