41 Evening Hymn

Words: John Leland, 1790

Music: Elisha West, 1802

Meter: Short Meter (6,6,8,6)

The day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear;
O may we all remember well
The night of death draws near.

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