[The day is past and gone]
[1]
The day is past and gone,The evening shades appear;
O may we all remember well, O may we all remember well,
The night of death is near.
2
We lay our garments by,Upon our beds to rest:
So death will soon disrobe us all,
Of what we here possess.
3
Lord, keep us safe this night,Secure from all our fears:
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.
4
And when we early rise,And view th' unwearied sun,
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.
5
And when our days are past,And we from time remove,
O may we in thy bosom rest,
The bosom of thy love.
