Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: Praise and Worship #36 (1951) 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 our eyelids close.
3 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep, blue sea.
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. Languages: English Tune Title: [Now the day is over]
