Tune: | [Now the day is over] |
Composer: | J. Barnby |
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 tenderest blessing
May our eyelids close.
3 Comfort every sufferer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sins restrain.
4 Through the long night-watches,
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
5 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
