Now The Day Is Over. Hymn.

 

 

 

 

1.      Now the day is over,

Night is drawing nigh,

Shadows of the evening,

Steals across the sky.

 

 

 

 

 

2.      Now the darkness gathers,

Stars their watches keep,

Birds, and beasts, and flowers

Soon will be asleep.

 

 

 

 

 

3.      Jesus, give the weary

Calm and sweet repose;

With Thy tenderest blessing

May our eyelids close.

 

 

 

 

 

4.      Grant to little children

Visions bright of Thee;

Guard the sailors tossing

On the deep blue sea.

 

 

 

 

 

5.      Comfort every sufferer

Watching late in pain;

Those who plan some evil

From their sin restrain.

 

 

 

 

6.      Through the long night watches

May Thine angels spread

Their white wings above me,

Watching round my bed.
