<p>Day is dying in the west;<br>
Heaven is touching earth with rest;<br>
Wait and worship while the night<br>
Sets the evening lamps alight<br>
Through all the sky.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!<br>
Heaven and earth are full of Thee!<br>
Heaven and earth are praising Thee,<br>
O Lord most high!</p>
<p>Lord of life, beneath the dome<br>
Of the universe, Thy home,<br>
Gather us who seek Thy face<br>
To the fold of Thy embrace,<br>
For Thou art nigh.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>While the deepening shadows fall,<br>
Heart of love enfolding all,<br>
Through the glory and the grace<br>
Of the stars that veil Thy face,<br>
Our hearts ascend.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>When forever from our sight<br>
Pass the stars, the day, the night,<br>
Lord of angels, on our eyes<br>
Let eternal morning rise<br>
And shadows end.</p>
