Now the Day is Over
1．
Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2．
Now the darkness gathers,
Stars begin to peep,
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
3．
Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose,
With Thy tend'rest blessing,
May our eyelids close.
4．
Thro' the long night watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my eyes.
5．
When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
6．
Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Tree, blest Spirit,
Whilst all ages run.
