Text:Now the shades of Night are gone
Tune:[Now the shades of night are gone]
Composer:Pleyel

53. Now the shades of Night are gone

1 Now the shades of night are gone;
Now the morning light is come;
Lord, may we be thine today,
Drive the shades of sin away.

2 Fill our souls with heavenly light,
Banish doubt and clear our sight;
In thy service, Lord to-day,
May we labour, watch and 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,
O receive us then at last;
Night and sin will be no more,
When we reach the heavenly shore.
