Now The Day I s Over
Now the day i s ov er, n ight i s drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening stea l across the s ky . Jesus, give the weary . Calm and sweet r epose . With thy tenderest bless i ng may our eye l ids close , Gr ant to l ittle chi l dren visions bright of thee. Guard the sailors t oss i ng , on t he deep blue sea . Comfort ever y sufferer watch1ng l a te in pain. Those who plan some evil, from their sins restrain. When the morning wakens then may I arise Pur e and fr esh an d sinles s i n Thy holy eyes.
