1 The day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear;
Oh, may we all remember well
The night of death draws near.
2 We lay our garments by,
Upon our beds to rest;
So death shall soon disrobe us all
Of what is here possest.
3 Lord keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.
Amen.
