This day is spent, the night is come

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXLIX (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 This day is spent, the night is come, And I am nearer to my home: That home which will for evermore, Remain when this my home is o'er. 2 O has it been my wish and care, For that long home still to prepare; Has not my precious time run waste, Just as the day that now is past. 3 Now when I lay these things to heart, And view myself in ev'ry part; When I research myself and see, What guilt may then be charg'd on me. 4 Hadst thou not spared me through grace, O what would be my present case! My soul would with this day have fled, Into the regions of the dead. 5 O may it be thy gracious will, To keep me in they favour still; Grant me this night to rest in peace, Secur'd in Christ, my righteousness. 6 To thee, O gracious Lord I pray, Let all my sins be done away! I plead the merits of thy Son, For all the evils I have done. 7 And should I die before I 'wake, Unto thyself my spirit take: My body in the grave to rest, Until I rise with all thy bless'd.
