Jean Ritchie
The Day Is Past and Gone
The Day is Past and gone
The evenin' shades appear
Oh, may we all remember well
The hour of Death is near

We lay our garments by
Upon our beds to rest;
So Time will soon disrobe us all
Of what we now possess

Lord keep us safe this night
Secure from all our fears
May angels guard us while we sleep
Till morning Light appears

And when our days are past
And we from time remove
Oh may we in Thy bosom rest
The bosom of Thy love
