Day is dying in the west,

Mary Artemesia Lathbury (1841-1913)

4 Verses God's Presence Creation & Nature

Verse 1

Day is dying in the west, Heav'n 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!

Verse 2

Lord of life, beneath the dome Of the universe, Thy home, Gather us, who seek Thy face, To fold of Thy embrace, For Thou art nigh.

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.
