Day Is Dying in the West

Verse 1
Day is dy­ing in the west;
Heav’n is touch­ing earth with rest;
Wait and wor­ship while the night
Sets the ev­en­ing lamps alight
Through all the sky.

Chorus
Holy, ho­ly, ho­ly, Lord God of Hosts! (Isa. 6:3, Rev. 4:8)
Heav’n and earth are full of Thee! (Isa. 6:3, Jer. 23:24)
Heav’n and earth are prais­ing Thee, (Rev. 5:13)
O Lord most high!

Verse 2
Lord of life, be­neath the dome
Of the uni­verse, Thy home,
Gather us who seek Thy face (Ps. 27:8)
To the fold of Thy em­brace, (John 10:16)
For Thou art nigh. (Ps. 145:18)

Verse 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.

Verse 4
When for­ev­er from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night, (Isa. 60:19-20, Rev. 22:5)
Lord of an­gels, on our eyes
Let eter­nal morn­ing rise
And sha­dows end. (Song of Solomon 2:17, Song of Solomon 4:6)
