1 Day is dying in the west;
Heav’n is touching earth with rest;
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Through all the sky.
Refrain:
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!
2 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.
3 While the deep’ning shadows fall
Heart of love enfolding all,
Through the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face,
Our hearts ascend.
4 When forever from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels on our eyes
Let eternal morn arise,
And shadows end.
