Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #522 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone,
The ev'ning shades appear,
Oh, may I ever keep in mind
The night of death draws near.
2 Lord, keep me safe this night,
Secure from all my fears;
May angels guard me while I sleep,
Till morning light appears.
3 And when I early rise,
To view th'unwearied sun,
May I set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.
4 That when my days are past,
And I from time remove,
Lord, I may in Thy bosom rest,
The bosom of Thy love. Topics: Evening Hymns in general; Worship Family Languages: English
