Author: S. Baring-Gould Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #179 (1901) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 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 tenderest blessing
May our eyelids close.
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.
6 Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit,
Whilst all ages run.
Amen. Topics: Worship Languages: English Tune Title: NOW THE DAY IS OVER
