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 your tend'rest blessing
may our eyelids close.
3.
Comfort ev'ry suff'rer
watching late in pain;
those who plan some evil,
from their sin restrain.
4.
Through the long night-watches
may your angels spread
their bright wings above me,
watching round my bed.
5.
When the morning wakens,
then may I arise
pure and fresh and sinless
in your holy eyes.
6.
Glory to the Father,
glory to the Son,
and to you, blest Spirit,
while the ages run.
