Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes ‎#23

23. The day, O Lord, is spent

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

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

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

Amen.
