Slow fades the summer light, Soft falls the dew, Faintly the stars of night Glimmer to view. chorus: Gentle and merciful, Thou who wast crucified, Brig oh thou Holy One Peace to my heart. Gentle and merciful, Thou who wast crucified, Brig oh thou Holy One Peace to my heart. Earth, like a weary one, Sinks to repose, Cool comes the zephyr on, Shutting the rose. (chorus) Bells on the valley side Tinkle and cease, Darker the shadows glide, All is at peace. (chorus)
