'''''A Collection of Hymns from Various Authors'',<br>Leeds, England, 1795''' 1. The night draws on, I must away; In hallelujahs close the day; The sun sets in the western skies, I never more may see him rise. 2. Hark! Angels chant their anthems high, While on my death-like bed I lie; Oh! spread your purple pinions round, And may my sleep be sweet and sound. 3. If I awake before 'tis light, Clad in the mantles of the night; I’ll think the last great day is near; The trumpet sounds, and all appear. 4 O! may I always ready stand, With my lamp burning in my hand; That when I hear the bridegroom's voice, I may in sight of heaven rejoice.
