The day, O Lord, is spent › Representative Texts

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

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.
