Now the Day Is Over

Now the Day Is Over - Jo Stafford/Gordon MacRae

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 tend'rest blessing

May mine eyelids close

Through the long night-watches

May Thine angels spread

Their white wings above me

Watching round my bed
