51   Day Is Dying in the West




[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.

[C]
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.

[C]
Holy holy holy
Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of Thee;
Heaven and earth are praising Thee
O Lord most high!

[3]
While the deepening shadows fall
Heart of love enfolding all
Thro the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face
Our hearts ascend.

[C]
Holy holy holy
Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of Thee;
Heaven and earth are praising Thee
O Lord most high!

[4]
When forever from our sight
Pass the stars the day the night
Lord of angels on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise
And shadows end.

[C]
Holy holy holy
Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of Thee;
Heaven and earth are praising Thee
O Lord most high!
