Appears in 44 hymnals First Line: The day of praise is done Lyrics: 1 The day of praise is done;
The evening shadows fall;
Yet pass not from us with the sun,
True Light that lightenest all!
2 Around thy throne on high,
Where night can never be,
The white-robed harpers of the sky
Bring ceaseless songs to thee.
3 Too faint our anthems here;
Too soon of praise we tire;
But, oh, the strains how full and clear
Of that eternal choir!
4 Yet, Lord! to thy dear will
If thou attune the heart,
We in thine angels' music still
May bear our lower part.
5 Shine thou within us, then,
A day that knows no end,
Till songs of angels and of men
In perfect praise shall blend.
