NOW the shades of night are gone,
Now the morning light is come;
Lord, we would be Thine today,
Drive the shades of sin away.
2
Make our souls as noonday clear,
Banish every doubt and fear;
In Thy vineyard, Lord, today
We would labor, we would pray.
3
Keep our haughty passions bound,
Rising up and sitting down,
Going out and coming in,
Keep us safe from every sin.
4
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.
