Now the day is over,

Night is drawing nigh ,

Shadows of the evening,

Steal across the sky.

Now the darkness gathers,
Stars began to peep,

Birds and beasts and flowers,

Soon will be asleep.

Jesus, give the weary ,
Calm and sweet repose ;

With Thy tenderest blessing,

May our eyelids close.

Grant to little children

Visions bright of Thee;

Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea. nigh : near
weary : tired
Comfort every sufferer , repose : rest
sufferer : sad person
Watching late in pain; restrain : hamper

Those who plan some evil, sinless : without sin
From their sin restrain .

Through the long night-watches,

May Thine angels spread,

Their white wings above me,

Watching round my bed.

When the morning wakens,

Then may I arise;

Pure and fresh and sinless ,

In Thy holy eyes.
