Author: John Leland Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #554 (1886) 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 Lord, keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.
3 And if we early rise,
And view the unwearied sun,
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.
4 And when our days are past,
And we from time remove,
O, may we in thy bosom rest
The bosom of thy love. Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Tune Title: VESPER
