The Day Is Past And Gone Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

The day is past and gone, 

The evening shades appear; 

O may we all remember well 

The night of death draws near. 

We lay our garments by, 

Upon our beds to rest; 

So death shall soon disrobe us all 

Of what is here possessed. 

Lord, keep us safe this night, 

Secure from all our fears; 

May angels guard us while we sleep, 

Till morning light appears.
