Now the shades of night are gone;

Now the morning light is come:

Lord, may we be Thine to-day;

Drive the shades of sin away.

Fill our souls with heavenly light,

Banish doubt, and clear our sight;

In Thy service, Lord, to-day,

May we stand, and watch, and pray.

Keep our haughty passions bound;

Save us from our foes around;

Going out and coming in,

Keep us safe from every sin.
