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,
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 morning rise
And
shadows end.
