51 ~ Day Is Dying in the West
1
Day is dying in the west; Heaven is touching earth with rest; Wait and worship while the night Sets the evening lamps alight Through all the sky.
Refrain
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! Heaven and earth are full of Thee; Heaven 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 deepening shadows fall, Heart of love enfolding all, Thro' 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 morning rise And shadows end.
