The Day Is Past and Gone

Hymnal: SOZ1981 #13 (1981) Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone, The evening shades appear; Oh, may we all remember well The night of death draws near. 2 We lay our garments by Upon our beds to rest; So death will soon disrobe us all of what we now possess. 3 Lord, keep us safe this night, Secure from all our fears; May angels guard us while we sleep 'Til morning light appears. 4 And when we early rise And view unwearied sun, May we set out to win the prize And after glory run.

For I did not know for certain that my sins were washed away; When the Spirit tried to tell me, I would not the truth receive. I endeavored to be happy, and to make myself believe. Refrain: But it’s real, it’s real, O I know it’s real; Praise God, the doubts are settled, For I know, I know it’s real. 2 When the truth came close and searching, all my joy would disappear. For I did not have the witness of the Spirit bright and clear; If at times the coming judgment would appear before my mind, O it made me so uneasy, for God’s smile I could not find. [Refrain] 3 But at last I tired of living such a life of fear and doubt. For I wanted God to give me something I would know about; So the truth would make me happy, and the light would clearly shine, And the Spirit gave assurance that I’m His and He is mine. [Refrain] 4 So I prayed to God in earnest, and not caring what folks said. I was hungry for the blessing; my poor soul it must be fed; When at last by faith I touched Him, and, like sparks from smitten steel, Just so quick salvation reached me; O bless God, I know it’s real!
