Now While the Day in Trailing Splendor

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #45 (1993) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Lyrics: 1 Now while the day in trailing splendor gives way to glories of the night, thanksgiving to thy name we render, O God of darkness and of light. Each day from thee we have our being, in all this wondrous order set; thine omnipresence blinds our seeing, and in thy gifts we thee forget. 2 Touch thou our eyes, their blindness healing, till all this common earth and air to our illumined sight and feeling thy glory and thyself declare; till storied marvel, sign, and token, all pale before the nearer thought of such vast miracles unbroken from hour to hour around us brought.
