The "Day Is Past and Gone" lyrics have been reworked and appear as the following:

Christ Jesus is my Shepherd King,
Who ransoms from the fall;
I'll be clothed with His righteousness,
When death disrobes us all.

Many thanks. I am absolutely delighted to find that many are interested by this lovely "lost" stanza of Amazing Grace. I corrected this stanza in my work "Amazing Grace: How Sweet it Sounds" in 2005:

"As now we lay our garments by,
Upon the bed to rest,
So death erelong disrobes us all
Of what we now possess."

I guess that would fit nicely before " yea, when this heart and flesh shall fail ..."

Pete (from seven stars link),

Please give us the complete stanza: "Yea, when this heart and flesh shall fail" And if you know more stanzas, give them. I am very interested, and I feel sure others are, too.

The Geocities page I linked to back in 2002 is in archive.org at https://web.archive.org/web/20091027050605/http://www.geocities.com/cigneto/thctxt/en/amazinggr2.html. The only problems I've found are the Scottish Gaelic version at the bottom being a dead link, and the MIDI file of Jean's ORB tune not working. (The file is there but software that opens other MIDI files isn't able to open it.)

Yea , when this heart and flesh shall fail / and mortal life shall cease / I shall possess within the veil / a life of joy and peace                                                                                  Another verse I've heard that's not usually in the hymn book -                                             The earth shall soon dissolve like snow / the sun refuse to shine / but God who called me here , below / shall be forever mine
