Author: Sabine Baring-GouldHymnal: Concordia #250 (1918)Lyrics: 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 tend'rest blessing
May our eyelids close.
3 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
4 Comfort ev'ry suff'rer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sins restrain.
5 Through the long night-watches,
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching 'round my bed.
6 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns EveningLanguages: EnglishTune Title: MERRIAL

Steal across the sky.

Stars begin to peep;
Birds, and beasts, and flowers
Soon will be asleep.

With Thy tend'rest blessing
May mine eyelids close.

Guard the sailors, tossing
On the deep blue sea.
