Hymn 209
S.M.
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,
While we retire to rest;
So death will soon disrobe us all
Of what we here possess.

3. Lord, keep us safe this night
Secure from all our fears:
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.

4. And when we early rise,
And view th' unwearied sun,
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.

5. And when our days are past,
And we from time remove,
O may we in thy kingdom rest,
Where all is peace and love.
