The day, O Lord, is spent

Verse 1

The day, O Lord, is spent; Abide with us, and rest; Our hearts' desires are fully bent On making Thee our Guest.

Verse 2

We have not reached that land, That happy land, as yet, Where holy angels round Thee stand, Whose sun can never set.

Verse 3

Our sun is sinking now; Our day is almost o'er; O Sun of Righteousness, do Thou Shine on us evermore.

Verse 4

From men below the skies, And all the heavenly host, To God the Father praise arise, The Son, and Holy Ghost.

Verse 5

Amen.
