623. Now the shades of night are gone

1 Now the shades of night are gone;
Now the morning light is come;
Lord, we would be thine to-day--
Drive the shades of sin away.

2 Fill my soul with heav'nly light,
Banish doubt, and cleanse my sight,
In thy service, Lord, to-day,
Help me labour, help me pray.

3 Keep my haughty passions bound,
Save me from my foes around;
Going out and coming in,
Keep us safe from ev'ry sin.

4 When my work of life is past,
Oh! receive me then at last!
Night of sin will be no more,
When I reach the heav'nly shore.
