518. Now the shades of night are gone

1 Now the shades of night are gone,
Now the morning light is come;
Lord, we would be Thine to-day,
Drive the shades of sin away.

2 Fill our souls with heavenly light,
Banish doubt and cleanse our sight;
In Thy service, Lord, to-day
Help us labor, help us pray.

3 Keep our haughty passions bound;
Save us from our foes around;
Going out and coming in,
Keep us safe from ev'ry sin.

4 When our work of life is past,
Oh, receive us all at last!
Night of sin will be no more,
When I reach the heavenly shore.
