Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #48 (1927) 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 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.
