Full Lyrics
God sends the night to bid us rest
From all our cares, in slumbers blest.
The turmoil and the toil are past,
Peace o’er the earth descends at last;
Then aching hearts may rest awhile,
And saddened lips in dreams may smile,
God sends the night; at His behest
The weary world is hushed to rest.
God sends the day to bid us wake:
Fresh glories at each morning break.
The world lies glistening in the dew,
Each day a world begun anew,
In waking hearts the message rings,
“Oh, on to nobler, better things!”
God sends the day; the shadows break,
And His creation is awake!
