Day Is Dying in the West Song Lyrics

Mary A. Lathbury, William F. Sherwin

Day is Dying in the West

Day is dying in the west;

Heav'n is touching earth with rest;

Wait and worship while the night

Sets the evening lamps alight

Through all the sky.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

When forever from our sight

Pass the stars, the day, the night,

Lord of angels, on our eyes

Let eternal morning rise

And shadows end.

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!
