A gentle evening hymn written by Sabine Baring-Gould in 1865, originally for children at a Sunday school. It asks for God's peaceful blessing and angelic protection through the night.

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.
