Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: Timeless Truths #302 Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 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 tend’rest blessing
May mine eyelids close.
3 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep, blue sea.
4 Comfort those who suffer,
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
5 Through the long night watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
6 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes. Scripture: Psalm 91:4-5 Tune Title: MERRIAL
