(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
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 sweep repose;
With thy tend’rest 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 angel 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.
