Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #98 (1995) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 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 tender blessing
may our eyelids close.
3 Grant to little children
visions of your care;
Keep our travels safe by
sea and land and air.
4 Comfort every sufferer
watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
from their sin restrain.
5 When the morning wakens,
then may we arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
in your holy eyes. Topics: Children; Comfort and Assurance; Evening; Travelers Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Languages: English Tune Title: MERRIAL
