Now the Day Is Over
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 mine eyelids close.
3. Comfort those who suffer,
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
4. When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
