Now the Day Is Over
}
Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh;
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.

Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tend'rest blessing
May our eyelids close.

Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.

Comfort ev'ry suff'rer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin refrain.

When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes. Amen.
