Author: John Leland Hymnal: The Hymnal #21a (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone;
The evening shades appear:
O 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.
