Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #589 (1993) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) 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 tend'rest blessing
May my eyelids close.
3 Comfort ev'ry suff'rer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil,
From their sin restrain.
4 Through the long night watches
May your angels spread
Their bright wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
5 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In your holy eyes. Topics: Evening; Evening Languages: English Tune Title: MERRIAL
Now the Day Is Over
