Text:"Day is dying"
Author:Mary A. Lathbury
Tune:EVENING PRAISE
Composer:W. F. Sherwin

88. "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]
