CH 338

Now the day is over,

Hymn Text

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 your tenderest blessing
May mine eyelids close.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit,
While all ages run.
