Author: S. Baring-Gould, 1834- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #217a (1917) Topics: Evening Hymns 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 mine eyelids close.
4 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee,
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
5 Comfort every sufferer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
6 Through the long night-watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
7 When the morning wakens
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
8 Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit
Whilst all ages run. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENING
Now the day is over
