Day Is Dying in the West

Verse 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.

Chorus

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! Heav'n and earth are full of Thee; Heav'en and earth are praising Thee, O Lord most high!

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
