Verse 1:
Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
Verse 2:
Father, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tenderest blessing
May our eyelids close.
Verse 3:
Through the long night watches,
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
