Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Amazing Grace 'disrobed' stanza
Easy enoug to fit the words to the tune, by stretching out one or more of the words. Only trouble would be deciding where to put in the stretch, and different people would put it in different places.

"We lay our earthly garments by" avoids that problem, and sounds fitting - the idea being that getting undressed for bed should be a reminder of the inevitability of death.

Pleasant dreams.
