The Restless Day Now Closeth

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Claus August Wendell Hymnal: The Junior Hymnal, Containing Sunday School and Luther League Liturgy and Hymns for the Sunday School #70 (1928) Lyrics: 1 The restless day now closeth, Each flow'r and tree reposeth, Shade creeps o'er wild and wood: Let us, as night is falling, On God our Maker calling, Give thanks to Him, the Giver good. Now all the heav'nly splendor Breaks forth in starlight tender From myriad worlds unknown; And man, the marvel seeing, Forgets his selfish being, For joy of beauty not his own. While all in peace reposeth, And starry night discloseth The glory of the Lord, My prayers and yearnings wander To realms of glory yonder, Where saints of God have their reward. When life's brief day is over, And twilight shadows cover The last end of my way, Dear Lord and blessed Saviour, Forgive my heart's behavior, And grant me Thou a brighter day. Amen.
