20. Day is dying in the west

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.

Refrain:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heav'n and earth are full of Thee!
Heav'n 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. [Refrain]

Amen.
