    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. When the morning wakens,
    Then may we arise
    Pure and fresh and sinless
    In thy holy eyes.
