Now the Day is Over
by Sabine Baring-Gould
Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
Now the
darkness gathers,
Stars began to peep,
Birds and beasts
and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With thy tenderest blessing
May our
eyelids close.
Grant to little children
Visions bright
of thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
Comfort every sufferer
Watching late in pain;
Those
who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
Through
the long night-watches
May thine angels spread
Their white
wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
When the
morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and
sinless
In thy holy eyes.
Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to thee, blest Spirit,
Whilst all
ages run.
