1.
Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh;
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2.
Now the darkness gathers,
Stars their watches keep,
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
3.
Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With your tenderest blessing
May mine eyelids close.
4.
When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
5.
Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit,
While all ages run.
Now The Day Is Over Lyrics
