'Now the day is over' lyrics
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 your tend'rest blessing may my eyelids close.
Comfort ev'ry suff'rer watching late in pain; those who plan some evil, from their sin restrain.
Thro' the long night-watches may your angels spread their bright wings above me, watching round my bed.
When the morning wakens, then may I arise pure and fresh and sinless in your holy eyes.
