74 - Now the Day is Over

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 eyelids close.

3.
Grant to little children Visions bright of Thee; Guard the sailors tossing On the deep, blue sea.

4.

Thru the long night watches May Thine angels spread Their white wings above me, Watching round my bed.

5.

When the morning wakens, Then may I arise Pure, and fresh, and sinless In Thy holy eyes.
