Before the day draws near its ending

Verse 1

Before the day draws near its ending, And evening steals o'er earth and sky, Once more to Thee our hymns ascending Shall speak Thy praises, Lord Most High.

Verse 2

O Light all clear, O Truth most holy, O boundless Mercy pardoning all, Before Thy feet, abashed and lowly, With one last prayer Thy children fall.

Verse 3

When we no more on earth adore Thee, And others worship here in turn, O may we sing that song before Thee, Which none but Thy redeemed can learn.

Verse 4

Amen.
