Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #576 (1930) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal 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.
2 Now the darkness gathers,
Stars their watch do keep;
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
3 Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tend'rest blessing,
May my eyelids close.
4 Thro' 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,
While all ages run.
Amen.
