616--Day is dying in the west,

Day is dying in the west,

616

	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.
		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 fold of Thy embrace,
		For Thou art nigh.
	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.
