1.⁠Day is dying in the west,
Heaven is touching earth with rest;
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Thro' all the sky.
⁠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.
⁠Holy, holy, holy, &c.
3.⁠While the deep'ning shadows fall,
Heart of Love, enfolding all,
Thro' the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil thy face,
Our hearts ascend.
⁠Holy, holy, holy, &c.
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.
⁠Holy, holy, holy, &c.
A -men.
