28. Now the Day Is Over

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 tenderest blessing
May our eyelids close.

3 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
