540 Now the shades of night are gone,

1 Now the shades of night are gone, Now the morning light is come; Lord, may I be Thine to-day, Drive the shades of sin away. 2 Fill my soul, O Christ, with light, Banish doubt and cleanse my sight, In Thy service, Lord, to-day, Help me labor, help me pray. 3 Keep my haughty passions bound; Save me from my foes around; Going out and coming in, Keep me safe from every sin. 4 When my work of life is past, O receive me then at last! Night of sin will be no more, When I reach the heavenly shore.
