VERSE 1
Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening,
Steal across the sky.
VERSE 2
Now the darkness gathers,
Stars their watches keep,
Birds, and beasts, and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
VERSE 3
Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tend'rest blessing
May our eyelids close.
VERSE 4
Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
VERSE 5
Comfort every suff'rer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
VERSE 6
Through the long night watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
VERSE 7
When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
VERSE 8
Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit,
Whilst all ages run.
