Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #33 (2011) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal 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 Thy tenderest blessing
May our eye lids close.
3 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep, blue sea.
4 Comfort every sufferer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil,
From their sins restrain.
5 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
Amen. Topics: Worship and Praise Evening; Closing Hymns Scripture: Proverbs 3:24 Languages: English Tune Title: MERRIAL
