Scout Vespers Song

This Song is meant for Scouts BSA.
Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.

Tune: Oh, Christmas 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?
Oh, have I done and have I dared
Everything to be prepared?


Listen Lord, O Listen Lord,
as I whisper soft and low.
Bless my Mom and bless my Dad,
there is something they ought to 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.

Quietly we join as one,
Thanking God for Scouting fun,
May we now go on our way.
Thankful for another day.
May we always love and share,
Living in peace beyond compare,
As Scouts may we find,
Friendships true with all mankind.

Quietly we now will part,
Pledging ever in our heart,
To strive to do our best each day,
As we travel down life's way.
Happiness we'll try to give,
Trying a better life to live,
Till all the world
Be joined in love,
Living in peace under skies above.

As the night comes to this land,
On my promise I will stand,
I will help the pack to go,
As our pack helps me to grow.
Yes, I'll always give good will,
I'll follow my Akela still.
And before I stop to rest,
I will do my very best.
