#159 "Now the Day Is Over"

I first remember learning this song from an old primary record made by primary children from Mesa, Arizona.  My family would listen to that record many times during my childhood.  I always thought of this song as a song from the hymnbook--for sacrament meeting.  Today, when I read Our Latter-day Hymns, by Karen Lynn Davidson, I was surprised to find out that it was originally written for children.  Her book lists four additional verses to the two that are in our hymnbook.
I like the vocal parts of this hymn.  They are very interesting and blend nicely together to form a great tune.
