HYMN HISTORY:
This beautiful hymn was penned by Sabine Baring-Gould who was born in Exeter, England on January 28, 1834.
He attended schools in Germany and France, then enrolled at Clare College in Cambridge where he learned six
languages, soon after graduating he entered the ministry at age 30 and pastored in Yorkshire, Essex, and
Devonshire. Sabine later became known as one of England’s most prolific writers. His works cover a huge range of
topics: theology, folklore, social commentary, travel & history. Some say that at one point there were more books
listed under his name in the British Museum Library than under that of any other English writer. Sabine was more
than an author, he was an archaeologist, an architect, an artist, and a teacher.
Baring-Gould wrote this hymn especially for the children of his parish at Hornbury Bridge. It was based on Proverbs
3:24, “When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.” This
hymn first appeared in the Church Times on February 16, 1865.
Sabine Baring-Gould is also the author of the well-known children’s hymn, “Onward, Christian Soldiers.” His large
family home at Lew Trenchard, in Devonshire, is now used as a hotel.
The composer for the music to this hymn was Joseph Barnby, son of organist Thomas Barnby, and like his father
Joseph was also an organist. He entered the choir of York Minster at age seven, and became an organist and
choirmaster at twelve. In 1854 Joseph went to London and entered the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied
under Cipriani Potter and Charles Lucas, then in 1856, he competed for the first Mendelssohn Scholarship. After
finishing his courses, of the nineteen applicants, he tied for first place with Arthur Sullivan. They were given a
second test, Sullivan won.
Joseph Barnby was known as one of England’s most famous choral conductors during his time and was awarded in
1892 for his many musical achievements. He was credited with composing 246 hymn tunes. The is tune for "Now the
Day Is Over" was composed in 1868 and was published in "Barnby’s Original Tunes to Popular Hymns" in 1869. It
was first used in the United States by Charles S. Robinson in "Spiritual Songs for Social Worship" in 1878. Dr.
Robinson was so fond of this tune that he named it “Merrial” after one of his daughters.
Joseph Barnby is also the composer of the hymn tune for “May Jesus Christ Be Praised” and “O Perfect Love.”

Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tenderest blessing
May mine eyelids close.
Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep, blue sea.
Comfort those who suffer,
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
Through the long night watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit,
While all ages run. Amen
Night is drawing nigh,

On the deep, blue sea.
Comfort those who suffer,
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
Through the long night watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit,
While all ages run. Amen
