Now the Shades of Night Are Gone

Now the shades of night are gone

Now the morn­ing light is come.

Lord

may we be Thine to­day;

Drive the shades of sin away.

Fill our souls with heav’n­ly light

Banish doubt and cleanse our sight.

In Thy serv­ice

Lord

to­day

Help us la­bor

help us pray.

Keep our haugh­ty pas­sions bound

Save us from our foes around;

Going out and com­ing in

Keep us safe from ev­ery sin.

When our work of life is past

Oh

re­ceive us safe at last!

Night of sin will be no more

When we reach the heav’n­ly shore.
