Trinity Hymnal ‎#343

343. 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 While the deep'ning shadows fall,
Light of light, on whom we call
Through the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face,
Our hearts ascend. [Refrain]

3 And when fading from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of Glory, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise,
And shadows end. [Refrain]

Amen.
