Ordinary Time // Week 12 // August 20-26

NOW THE DAY IS OVER

Now the day is over,
night is drawing nigh;
shadows of the evening
steal across the sky.

Jesus, give the weary
calm and sweet repose;
with your tend'rest blessing
may our eyelids close.

Comfort ev'ry suff'rer
watching late in pain;
Give courage to your laborers

That we may rise again

When the morning wakens,
then may we arise
Sure and strong and ready
in your holy eyes.
