Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: Let Youth Praise Him #104 (1964) First Line: Now the day is over Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
Now the darkness gathers,
Stars begin to peep,
Birds, and beasts, and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
2 Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose,
With Thy tend'rest blessing
May mine eyelids close.
Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee,
Guard the sailors, tossing
On the deep blue sea.
3 Comfort ev'ry suff'rer,
Watching late in pain,
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
Thro' the long night watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching 'round my bed. Topics: Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: [Now the day is over]
