GRH 039 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 our eyelids close.

(3)
Thro’ the long night watches,
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching ‘round my bed.

(4)
When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
