According to Jari Villanueva, bugler/historian, the most popular verses for "TAPS" are:
Day is done, gone the sun, From the hills, from the lake, from the sky. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Go to sleep, peaceful sleep May the soldier or sailor, God keep. On the land or the deep, Safe in sleep.
Fades the light. And afar Goeth day, And the stars shineth bright, Fare thee well; Day has gone, Night is on.
Thanks and praise, For our days, 'Neath the sun, 'Neath the stars, Neath the sky, As we go, This we know, God is nigh.
