52 Now the Day Is Over
[1]
Now the day is over;
Night is drawing nigh
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
Now the day is over;
Night is drawing nigh
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.

Father give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With your tenderest blessing
May our eyelids close.

Through the long night-watches
May your angels spread
Their white wings above me
Watching round my bed.
