1 Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2 Now the darkness gathers,
Stars begin to peep,
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
3 Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With thy tenderest blessing
May their eyelids close.
4 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In thy holy eyes.
