I remember when I used to go to guides, we always used to sing the nighttime one but at the end one person would squeeze the person next to them’s finger and then that person would do it again and so on until we reached the end of the song that went like: The squeeze is going around The squeeze is going around Hi-ho-a-dary-o, the squeeze is going around
so it was written by Forres W Gaz of his dale, Mass. and the lyrics he wrote are: Day is done Gone the sun From the Lake From the hills From the sky All is well Safely rest God is nigh Fading light Dims the night And the star Gems the sky Gleaming bright From afar Drawing nigh Falls the night
In Canada the taps song has been changed to be more inclusive. For night time taps the line 'god is nigh' has been changed to 'good night.' as we in our group have not had an opportunity to do a daytime version I am unsure what the change is, I will have to look that up.
In my guides we sing this: Day is done is done is done Gone the sun the sun the sun From the seas from the hills from the sky All is well is well is well Safely resting resting resting Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Guides! ✌️😙✌️ Yes and that hand action :l lol
in my guides we sing it like: Day is done day is done day is done gone the sun gone the sun gone the sun from the seas from hills from the sky all is well all is well all is well safely rest safely rest safely rest god is nigh god is nigh god is niiiighhh ciao!
I"m having trouble learning the prepared song the lyrics are something like this "Have I done everything to be prepared" I"m a new leader never did girl guides as a kid.

In my Guides, we always sang ‘god is nice’. The leaders kept on correcting us, but no. To us, it was ‘god is nice’ 😂
Ellie B Many of us used to sing “God is night” we got corrected! I still remember even though it was 32 years since I left Guides.
Days done, gone the sun
From the seas, from the hills,
From the sky,
All is well, safely rest
Friends goodnight.

The squeeze is going around
Hi-ho-a-dary-o, the squeeze is going around
who would put a thumbs down. this is wonderful thank you
so it was written by Forres W Gaz of his dale, Mass. and the lyrics he wrote are:
Day is done
Gone the sun
From the Lake
From the hills
From the sky
All is well
Safely rest
God is nigh
Fading light
Dims the night
And the star
Gems the sky
Gleaming bright
From afar
Drawing nigh Falls the night
I learned "from the sea" when I was a guide in the 60s although written by Horace Lorenzo Trim says Lakes
My guides did 'day is done,gone the sun ,in his seas, in his hills, in his skies, thank you lord, for this day, good night'
Bless your Soul, and thank you sweetheart! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, from 10 years in the Future!!!
it's sea not lakes
Actually it can be both
Jessica Brayley I was in guides for two years and we used lakes. So it can be both depending on where you are.
Jessica Brayley right
In Canada the taps song has been changed to be more inclusive. For night time taps the line 'god is nigh' has been changed to 'good night.' as we in our group have not had an opportunity to do a daytime version I am unsure what the change is, I will have to look that up.
Thank you . I was looking for this
At my guides we sing this faster so we have to repeat some words
I think its Jamaican taps my unit does it to
We do that, it's Day is done x3 Gone the sun x3 from the sea from the hills from the sky, all is well x3 safely rest x3 god is nigh x3

The song you're referencing sounds like "Softly Falls the Light of Day"
You're welcome!
