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 heavenly 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 then at last!
Night of sin will be no more
When we reach the heavenly shore.
*** alt vers
Now the shades of night are gone;
Now the morning light is come;
Lord, may I be thine to-day—
Drive the shades of sin away.
Fill my soul with heav'nly light.
Banish doubt, and cleanse my sight;
In thy service, Lord, to-day,
Help me labor, help me pray.
Keep my haughty passions bound—
Save me from my foes around;
Going out and coming in.
Keep me safe from ev'ry sin.
When my work of life is past,
Oh! receive me then at last!
Night of sin will be no more.
When I reach the heav'nly shore.
Fill our souls with heavenly light,
Banish doubt and clear our sight.
In Thy service, Lord, today
Help us labor, help us pray.
