Gone are the shades of night
Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
Gone are the shades of night,
The hours of rest are o'er;
New beauties sparkle bright,
And heaven is light once more.
To Thee our prayers shall speed,
O Lord of light Divine;
Come to our utmost need,
And in our darkness shine.
Spirit of love and light,
May we Thine image know,
And in Thy glory bright,
To full perfection grow.

Thou Comforter the best,
Lead us till life is done.
Gone are the shades of night

Now the morning light is come;
Lord, may we be thine today,
Drive the shades of sin away.

Banish doubt and clear our sight;
In thy service, Lord to-day,
May we labour, watch and pray.

Save us from our foes around;
Going out and coming in
Keep us safe from ev'ry sin.

When we reach the heavenly shore. Used With Tune: [Now the shades of night are gone]

W. G. Fischer
1835 - 1912 Person Name: William G. Fischer, 1835-1912 Composer of "[Now the shades of night are gone]" in Christian Hymnal (Rev. ed.) William Gustavus Fischer In his youth, William G. Fischer (b. Baltimore, MD, 1835; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1912) developed an interest in music while attending singing schools. His career included working in the book bindery of J. B. Lippencott Publishing Company, teaching music at Girard College, and co-owning a piano business and music store–all in Philadelphia. Fischer eventually became a popular director of music at revival meetings and choral festivals. In 1876 he conducted a thousand-voice choir at the Dwight L. Moody/Ira D. Sankey revival meeting in Philadelphia. Fischer composed some two hundred tunes for Sunday school hymns and gospel songs.

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "Now the shades of night are gone" in The Lutheran Hymnary In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Richard Redhead
1820 - 1901 Person Name: R. Redhead Composer of "[Now the shades of night are gone]" in The Lutheran Hymnary Richard Redhead (b. Harrow, Middlesex, England, 1820; d. Hellingley, Sussex, England, 1901) was a chorister at Magdalen College, Oxford. At age nineteen he was invited to become organist at Margaret Chapel (later All Saints Church), London. Greatly influencing the musical tradition of the church, he remained in that position for twenty-five years as organist and an excellent trainer of the boys' choirs. Redhead and the church's rector, Frederick Oakeley, were strongly committed to the Oxford Movement, which favored the introduction of Roman elements into Anglican worship. Together they produced the first Anglican plainsong psalter, Laudes Diurnae (1843). Redhead spent the latter part of his career as organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Paddington (1864-1894).
