Evening

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #77 (1890) First Line: The swift declining day Lyrics: 1 The swift declining day, How fast its moments fly! While evening's broad and gloomy shade Gains on the western sky. 2 Ye mortals, mark its pace, And use the hours of light; And know, its Maker can command At once eternal night. 3 Give glory to the Lord, Who rules the whirling sphere; Submissive at his footstool bow, And seek salvation there. 4 Then shall new lustre break Through death's impending gloom, And lead you to unchanging light, In your celestial home.

The Swift-Declining Day

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16611 Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: The swift-de­clin­ing day Lyrics: 1 The swift-de­clin­ing day, How fast its mo­ments fly! While ev­en­ing’s broad and gloomy shade Gains on the west­ern sky. 2 Ye mortals, mark its pace, And use the hours of light; And know, its Mak­er can com­mand An in­stan­tan­eous night. 3 His Word blots out the sun In its me­ri­di­an blaze; And cuts from smil­ing, vig­or­ous youth The rem­nant of its days. 4 On the dark mountain’s brow Your feet shall quick­ly slide; And from its airy sum­mit dash Your mo­ment­ary pride. 5 Give glo­ry to the Lord, Who rules the whirl­ing sphere; Submissive at His foot­stool bow, And seek sal­va­tion there. 6 Then shall new lus­ter break Thro’ hor­ror’s dark­est gloom, And lead you to un­chang­ing light, In a ce­les­tial home.
