Now the shades of night are gone

1

Now the shades of night are gone,Now is past the early dawn;Lord, we would be thine to-day;Drive the shades of sin away.

2

Make our souls as noonday clear,Banish every doubt and fear;In thy vineyard, Lord, to-day,We would labor, we would pray.

3

When our work of life is past,O receive us all at last;Labor then will all be o'er,Sin's dark night will be no more.
