Day is dying in the west
Heav’n is touching earth with rest
Wait and worship while the night
Sets the evening lamps alight
Through all the sky
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heav’n and earth are full of Thee!
Heav’n and earth are praising Thee
O Lord most high!
Lord of life, beneath the dome
Of the universe, Thy home
Gather us who seek Thy face
To the fold of Thy embrace
For Thou art nigh
| |
While the deepening shadows fall
Heart of love enfolding all
Through the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face
Our hearts ascend
When forever from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise
And shadows end
|
