119. "Day is dying"

1 Day is dying in the West;
Heaven is touching earth with rest:
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Through all the sky.

Chorus:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heav'n and earth are full of thee!
Heav'n 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. [Chorus]
