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 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,
O! receive me then at last!
When I reach the heavenly shore,
Night of sin will be no more.
