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 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
4 Through 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.
Amen.
