  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 our eyelids close.
  3. Grant to little children
    Visions bright of thee;
    Guard the sailors tossing
    On the deep blue sea.
  4. Comfort every suff'rer
    Watching late in pain;
    Those who plan some evil
    From their sins restrain.
  5. When the morning wakens
    Then may I arise
    Pure, and fresh, and sinless
    In thy holy eyes.
    A-MEN.
