LyicsNOW 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 heavenly light,
Banish doubt, and cleanse my sight;
In thy service, Lord, to-day,
Help me labor, help me pray.
When my work of life is past,
O receive me, then, at last:
When I reach the heavenly shore,
Night of sin will be no more.
