Now the Day is Over
1. Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2. When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
3. Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tend'rest blessing
May mine eyelids close.
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tend'rest blessing
May mine eyelids close.
4. Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep, blue sea.
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep, blue sea.
5. Comfort those who suffer,
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
6. Through the long night watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
