Lyics

Now the shades of night are gone;

Now has pass'd the early dawn;

Lord, we would be thine today;

Drive the shades of sin away.



Make our souls as noonday clear,

Banish ev'ry doubt and fear;

In thy vineyard, Lord, today.

We would labor, we would pray.



When our work of life is past,

O receive us all at last;

Labor then will all be o'er;

Sin's dark night will be no more.
