Author: Mary A. Lathbury Hymnal: Worship in Song #38 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.4 with refrain 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 night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Through all the sky.
Refrain:
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. [Refrain]
