Old Time Song

I am not sure who wrote this song, but it was a favorite of my mom's, my sister's, and mine. We would sing in three part harmony and thought we were by far the best. We even went so far as to tape ourselves singing it, but the batteries on the tape player were low and made us sound like a bunch of sick cows. But I am putting the words here tonight because they are beautiful.
"Now the day is over. Night is drawing nigh. Shadows of the evening, steal across the sky."
"Jesus give the weary, strong and sweet repose. With thy tenderest blessing, may our eyelids close."
"When the morning wakens, then shall we arise. Pure and fresh and sinless, in thy holy eyes."
Not a long song, but very strong in its words. Have a sweet, sweet night.
