Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924 Hymnal: Christian Worship #786 (2021) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship 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 Thro' 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 Scripture: Psalm 3:5 Languages: English Tune Title: MERRIAL
