P.M.

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.
