Day is dying in the west,

Heav'n is touching earth with rest,

Wait and worship while the night

Sets her evening lamps alight

Through all the sky.

Lord of life, beneath the dome

Of the universe, Thy home,

Gather us, who seek Thy face,

To fold of Thy embrace,

For Thou art nigh.

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.
