Hymnal: Divine Hymns or Spiritual Songs, for the use of religious assemblies and private Christians #XXII (1802) First Line: Now the shades of night are gone Lyrics: 1 Now the shades of night are gone,
Now the morning light is come,
Lord, we would be thine to-day,
Drive the shades of sin away.
2 Make our souls as noon-day clear,
Banish every pain and fear;
In thy vineyard Lord, to-day
We would labor, we would pray.
3 Keep our haughty passions bound,
Rising up and sitting down,
Going out and coming in,
Keep us safe from every sin.
4 When our work of life is past,
O! receive us then at last:
Labor then will all be o'er,
Night of sin will be no more.
