Author: Rev. S. Baring-Gould Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #61 (1901) First Line: Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh 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 mine eyelids close.
3 Thro’ the long night watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
4 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes. Tune Title: [Now the day is over]
Now the Day Is Over
