Author: Miss Mary A. Lathbury, 1841 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #226 (1917) First Line: Day is dying in the west Lyrics: 1 Day is dying in the west,
Heaven is touching earth with rest;
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps slight
Through all the sky.
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.
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.
4 When for ever from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morn arise
And shadows end.
