Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #574b (1917) Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2 Now the darkness gathers,
Stars their watches keep;
Birds, and beasts, and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
3 Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose,
With Thy tenderest blessing
May our eyelids close.
4 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
5 Through the long night-watches,
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
6 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
7 Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit,
Whilst all ages run.
Amen. Topics: Hymns for Children Languages: English Tune Title: MERRIAL
