LyicsTHE day is past and gone,
The ev'ning shades appear;
O may we all remember well,
The night of death is near.
We lay our garments by,
Upon our beds to rest,
So death will soon disrobe us all
Of what we now possess.
Lord keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears,
Beneath the pinions of thy love,
Till morning light appears.
And when we early rise,
To view th' unweari'd sun,
May we get out to win the prize
And after glory run.
And when our days are past,
And we from time remove,
O may we in thy bosom rest,
The bosom of thy love.
