Author: Mary A. Lathbury Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #83 (1976) Refrain First Line: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts! Lyrics: 1 Day is dying in the west,Heaven is touching earth with rest;Wait and worship while the nightSets her evening lamps alightThro' all the sky.Chorus: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. (Chorus)3 While the deepening shadows fall,Heart of Love, enfolding all,Thro' the glory and the graceOf the stars that veil Thy face,Our hearts ascend. (Chorus)4 When forever from our sightPass the stars, the day, the night,Lord of angels, on our eyesLet eternal morning rise,And shadows end!
