Now the Day is Over is a collection of lullabies, standards, traditional and classical songs recorded in a number of weeks in the Innocence Mission's home studio during the summer of 2004.

The album features one original song, "My Love Goes With You", and three from previous albums. "Moon River" is from The Lakes of Canada (1999). "It Is Well with My Soul" and two bonus tracks appeared on Christ Is My Hope (2000). All four songs were remastered for this album.

Among the covers featured from classic movies are "Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard Of Oz, "Stay Awake" from Mary Poppins, "Edelweiss" from The Sound of Music, and Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffany's.

A portion of the album's sales went to Catholic Relief Services.
