Author: S. Baring-Gould Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #632 (1920) 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 tenderest 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 every sufferer
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: Youth and School Life Languages: English Tune Title: MERRIAL
