Prayer by Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924)

lyrics

Now the day is over
Night is drawing nigh
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.

Now the darkness gathers
Stars begin 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.

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

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