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 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 if we early rise,
And view the unwearied sun;
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.

5. And when our days are gone,
And we from time remove,
O may we in thy bosom rest,
The bosom of thy love.
