Author: William John Blew Hymnal: GD1901 #41 (1901) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone;
Great God, we bow to Thee;
Again, as shades of night steal on,
Unto Thy side we flee.
2 Oh, when shall that day come,
Ne’er sinking in the west,
That country and that happy home,
Where none shall break our rest.
3 Where we, preserved beneath
The shelter of Thy wing,
Forevermore Thy praise shall breathe,
And of Thy mercy sing. Topics: Evening Languages: English Tune Title: SUNSET
