Now the day is over

Lyrics

1. Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening Steal across the sky.
2. Jesus, give the weary Calm and sweet repose; With Thy tender blessing may our eyelids close.
3. Through the long night watches May Thine angels spread Their white wings above us, Watching round each bed.
4. When the morning wakens, Then may I arise, Pure, and fresh, and sinless In Thy Holy eyes.
5. Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son, And to thee, blest Spirit, Whilst all ages run.
