444 Chautauqua Vesper Hymn
Mary Artimisia Lathbury, 1880, 1890.
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. | Refrain: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! Heaven and earth are full of Thee! Heaven 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. | While the deepening shadows fall, Heart of Love, enfold us all; Through the glory and the grace Of the stars that veil Thy face, Our hearts ascend. | 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. | |
