Author: Mary Artemesia Lathbury, 19841-1913 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #13 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7.4 with refrain First Line: Day is dying in the west Lyrics: 1 Day is dying in the west,
heaven is touching earth with rest;
wait and worship while the night
sets the evening lamps alight
through all the sky.
Refrain:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts:
heaven and earth are full of thee,
heaven 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]
3 While the deepening shadows fall
heart of love enfolding all,
through the glory and the grace
of the stars that veil thy face,
our hearts ascend. [Refrain]
4 When for ever from our sight
pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
let eternal morn arise,
and shadows end. [Refrain] Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Languages: English Tune Title: SENNEN (CHAUTAUQUA)
